Juventus hero Claudio Marchisio believes Serie A needs to resume.

Serie A teams are waiting for news from the government about a date to introduce contact training again.

“At this moment, football is trapped in the claws of this situation just the same as any other profession," Marchisio told Tuttosport.

“However, we mustn't forget football is one of the top 10 industries in this country, with a very important financial contribution and which involves millions of people.

“Football is not just the elite of millionaire players who appear on front pages and rule social media. Even just the Serie B and Serie C players, who have a very different financial outlook, then all the less visible workers who depend on the sport for the salary that keeps their family going, like kit staff, physiotherapists, security and the media."
