Rome, Italy – Serie A matches postponed following the death Saturday of Livorno player Piermario Morosini during a Serie B game have been rescheduled for April 24-25.
Morosini died after suffering cardiac arrest during a fixture at Pescara, and Serie A postponed all of last weekend's matches.
Two matches were rescheduled for April 24, with Chievo at Atalanta and Catania at Cagliari set for 12:30 p.m. (ET) kick offs.
The other fixtures are set for April 25, with Lazio at Novara at 6:30 a.m., Napoli at Lecce, Parma at Palermo, Fiorentina at Roma, Bologna at Siena and Inter Milan at Udinese all at 9 a.m., and Genoa at AC Milan and Juventus at Cesena both at noon.
Some matches have to be played earlier than usual due to conflicts with the second legs of the Champions League semifinals. Chelsea visits Barcelona on April 24 and Bayern Munich visits Real Madrid on April 25. UEFA rules prohibit top leagues from playing at the same time as the Champions League.
Italy also adjusted its schedule for the upcoming weekend, as Cagliari at Parma and Atalanta at Catania were moved up one day from Sunday to Saturday to accommodate the rescheduled matches.
