I know it is in Emilio Romagna...is the postponement official?
In neighbouring Lombardy, the government banned all public events and closed schools in several small towns southeast of Italy's financial capital Milan.

Italy, meanwhile, reported its first two deaths from the coronavirus as authorities moved to close schools, bars and other public spaces in 10 northern towns.

Might be called off if there are any fears. Would be sensible given how rapid it spreads, and two deaths last night/today from it reported. Sounds like the guy who first had it went to hospital and was sent home. :fp:

Nothing official yet. Might still go on but we'll see. If Lombardy shut down public events meaning that I assume also football is included, it makes sense more so if there's 60k people at a single event.

Seems it was only the town (Codogno) where it's currently spread to several people 60km from Milan and where stuff is shut down. Won't affect Milan yet let alone Florence.

Are they going to quarantine all of Italy because of this?

Can't wait for kick off. I love seeing our games these days, can't remember the last time Milan gave me excitement like this.

Did we get a new keeper, a low IQ version of Gigio?

I hope our attack will keep them busy, so Gabbia doesn't have to be involved much. Otherwise, I'm a bit worried about Chiesa and Vlahovic.

Seems so. Only concern are a few towns and communes near where the Coronavirus was found to have spread currently, that are on lockdown, and are sixty kilometres from Milan, and much further from Florence.

Gabbia starting over Musacchio. Wonder if he's still holding a knock or Gabbia just impressed last week.

Don‘t really see a reason for Conti over Calabria, especially next to Gabbia who will be busy doing his job.
Nice that Hakan is back, I hope they don‘t rush him.

As much as we hope it's the latter it's probably the former.

Hopefully Gabbia delivers tonight and doesn't do a Rodrigo Ely.
