Milan's players have begun to return for collection at Milanello. Then tests wait to see if they are infected or not with covid-19 and then individual training. But Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the team's leader and profile, will not join at this time. It states several sources in Milan to Sportbladet.

A source in Milan now tells SVT:

- Ibra told us that “if we start May 4, I will come May 3. If we start May 9, I will come May 8. I'm not coming a second too soon ”.

Zlatan is said to rather stay in Sweden where he can train with Hammarby and move freely.

In Italy, he would first have to quarantine and then not be able to stay outdoors without the risk of getting caught in police checks and with the requirement to wear face mask in public environments.

- We need Ibrahimovic here, he is our main player, but we also understand that he prefers to stay at home in Sweden at the moment, says a source in Milan.

Football is part of the very lifeblood of Italian society, football. It has been put on hold since six weeks because of the corona crisis but now the need for answers and decisions is growing. Uefa requires a message by May 28 from different countries' football associations to know how to act.

In Italy, players, coaches, referees, sponsors and - not least - the people also want to know how it is with Serie A.

- We know that football is incredibly important to so many, I myself am a supporter. But the health of the Italians is taking precedence, says the country's health minister Roberto Speranza.

His last name means "hope" but after the summit today between the Italian football federation Figc and some ministers and experts, the situation is not immediately hopeful. But on the other hand, not completely hopeless.

"We will make a decision in a few days when we have evaluated all the views and all material from the expertise," Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora told Italian media.

The Football Association has produced a 47-page document with directives in the smallest detail, all in order to start training May 4 and start playing in early June and ending the season at the end of July. If that becomes extremely questionable, the fear and caution is still great in Italy, which counts over 24,000 dead in the corona crisis.
