Serie A restart delayed by Italy’s PM

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on Sunday delayed a decision on restarting Serie A football but gave the green light for top athletes to resume training in a week's time.

Conte unveiled the first details of how Italy will emerge from a lockdown.

He said individual athletes would be allowed to resume training on May 4 and teams could train together again from May 18.

But about a Serie A season interrupted on March 9 with Juventus leading Lazio by a point, he said: "It will start again only when it is safe."
