*Waits govt approval
Serie A, Italy’s top soccer flight, has voted on June 13 as the target date to return to play, pending government approval.
The vote came down on Wednesday, according to reports in Italian media.
The league now awaits for the government’s approval, and the two sides have hurdles to clear, including how to handle a positive COVID-19 test from a player.
Play has been stopped for more than two months in Italy due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Several clubs in Serie A have had players tests positive for the virus, including Juventus star Paulo Dybala, who tested positive four times. Fiorentina and Sampdoria have also been hit hard with various first-team players contracting COVID-19. Italy has had nearly 31,000 coronavirus deaths, the world’s third-highest mark.
