Lazio chief medic Ivo Pulcini insists the fears over resuming Serie A during the coronavirus pandemic are ‘totally exaggerated.’
The lockdown measures were eased this week with Italy moving into Phase Two, but the medical protocol for training in groups or even playing games will be evaluated tomorrow.
“I am absolutely in favour of resuming the season, especially after I examined the players,” Lazio medic Pulcini told Sport Mediaset.
Lazio chief medic Ivo Pulcini insists the fears over resuming Serie A during the coronavirus pandemic are ‘totally exaggerated.’
The lockdown measures were eased this week with Italy moving into Phase Two, but the medical protocol for training in groups or even playing games will be evaluated tomorrow.
“I am absolutely in favour of resuming the season, especially after I examined the players,” Lazio medic Pulcini told Sport Mediaset.
“I found them enthusiastic and professional. It’s entirely plausible to isolate the squads during the next few weeks, although perhaps not for all clubs.”
Torino announced today that one of their players tested positive for COVID-19, but Pulcini insists there are very few risks involved.
“It’s totally exaggerated. If a team is tested, sticks to the rules and moves in a clean environment, what are we even talking about? Why should we consider perfectly healthy people to be ill?”
