"Serie A" players can start a protest © JumpStory

"Serie A" league can be shaken by players' protest. The Italian press reports that athletes from one of the strongest championships on the planet do not want to risk their health and play matches. Football players are concerned about the coronavirus that has spread in the country - there are reports of 5 thousand infections, 230 deaths, and 16 million citizens in quarantine. However, this did not stop the football championship and some matches are being played in empty stadiums. It is said that the Italian professional footballers' union is already considering the possibility of a protest if the athletes' health continues to be at risk. The strike was supposed to start on March 8-9, but so far the final decision has not been made.
