Italy’s Serie A will return on June 20, the country’s Sports Minister, Vincenzo Spadafora, has confirmed.

Serie A was suspended on March 9, with Juventus leading the table by a point with 12 rounds of matches remaining.

Players returned to individual training earlier this month before group sessions restarted this week.
