Euro 2020 will kick off in Rome as planned, Uefa has insisted, despite the growing number of coronavirus cases in Italy.
In new developments, an unnamed professional footballer in the Italian third tier has tested positive for Covid-19 while the European forum of the International Boxing Association, which was due to be held in Assisi this weekend, has been cancelled. It has also been announced that an emergency meeting will be held in Paris next week to discuss the postponed Six Nations fixture between Ireland and Italy.
