Italy sport minister Spadafora says it would be 'much easier to end Serie A season

The league been suspended since last month due to the Covid-19 crisis, and a return to play won't be easy

Italy's minister for sport Vincenzo Spadafora said it would be "much easier" to end the Serie A season immediately as he warned the league is not guaranteed to resume.

Serie A has been suspended since last month due to the coronavirus pandemic but hopes of the 2019-20 campaign restarting have intensified as Italy plans to ease lockdown measures.

The timeline would allow for sports teams to resume group training by May 18, albeit with social distancing measures in place.
