Serie A matches are set to return by June 2, after Italy announced that it is ready to move into the next phase of the Coronavirus pandemic response.
Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, confirmed that the country will begin to relax social distancing from May 4, and the guidelines will allow Serie A clubs to start full training from May 18.
The move comes after German Bundesliga announced that it will resume matches behind closed doors from next month.
This news should give the Premier League a major hope, as Italy was regarded as being just two to three weeks ahead of the United Kingdom, with a similar death toll and infection rates.
The English league is already looking at plans to return to training in May.
It has a best case scenario of playing games by June 8, and is determined to  complete the season.
“Now the phase of living with the virus begins for everyone and we must be aware that during Phase Two, there is the risk we’ll see the curve climb in some areas of the country.
“It’ll be even more important to maintain social distancing, at least one metre.
“Even when seeing family, we must still maintain this precaution, because the scientists tell us that at least one out of four infections come via family members.
“If we do not respect social distancing, the curve will climb again, so will the number of deaths, and we will have irreversible damage to our economy.
“If you love this country, then respect social distancing,” Conte said.
Phase Two of the measure will see the lockdown eased, some travel allowed within regions and greater freedom for outdoor exercise, but still maintaining social distancing guidelines and banning travel between regions unless necessary.
