Pisa vs. Lecce in doubt tonight as huge fire rages in Tuscany

There are concerns that tonight’s Serie A game between Pisa and Lecce could be affected or even postponed by a huge wildfire in the vicinity.

It is due to kick off at the Cetilar Arena Garibaldi in Pisa at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

That is by no means guaranteed right now, because Tuscany is still dealing with a massive wildfire that is tearing its way through the Monte Faeta forest.

This is situated between Lucca and Pisa, with over 800 hectares already gone up in smoke, and the village of Asciano completely evacuated.
