They said there will be four Serie A rounds in August. Means a midweek game in the first four. They'll announce the schedule June 24th, but my guess:
MON JUL 11 Preseason starts

WED AUG 24 Serie A round 3
SUN AUG 28 Serie A round 4
SUN SEP 4 Serie A round 5
TUE SEP 6 CL round 1
SUN SEP 11 Serie A round 6
TUE SEP 13 CL round 2
SUN SEP 20 Serie A round 7
MON SEP 19 INTERNATIONAL BREAK
TUE SEP 27 RETURN FROM BREAK
SUN OCT 2 Serie A round 8
TUE OCT 4 CL round 3
SUN OCT 9 Serie A round 9
TUE OCT 11 CL round 4
SUN OCT 16 Serie A round 10

TUE NOV 1 CL round 6
SUN NOV 13 Serie A round 14
MON NOV 14 WORLD CUP BREAK
WED JAN 4 WORLD CUP END
If there's only one International break, and that's what i'm understanding, then this is how many games there likely will be before the world cup break. You can only fit in 14 Serie A games and even then we'll basically be playing 2 games a week non stop until the World Cup. Since we also won't be halfway into the season by the time the tournament ends, it will probably be the same after especially if we make it deep into the CL.
It's going to be a very, very busy season. We need as much depth as we can afford. Absolutely no fodders.
