Fiorentina, who have been in Sardinia since yesterday, were supposed to be leaving Cagliari airport right now to return to Tuscany. But the decision to immediately recover has meant that the Viola will remain on the island .

The Lega Serie A met urgently and decided when to play the matches: in addition to Cagliari-Fiorentina, Torino-Udinese (scheduled for 12:30), Genoa-Lazio (at 18:00) and Parma-Juventus (at 20:45) were postponed . The matches were all rescheduled to be played at the same time, also on Wednesday at 18:30. In the next round, the rossoblù will be playing on Monday 28th at 20:45 in Verona, while the viola will host Empoli on Sunday at 15:00. Fiorentina will play the Conference League semi-finals against Real Betis on Thursday 1st and Thursday 8th May, which is why it was not possible to postpone them further .
