And, to add the cherry on top, Lazio are involved in Wednesday night’s Coppa Italia final, which means that the Rome derby cannot be played on Saturday as it is too close to the cup final.

So, the original decision taken by the league was for the Roma vs. Lazio derby to be played on Sunday, May 17 at 11.30 BST. This, however, did not please either side, nor the local authorities, and now, the prefecture of Rome has ordered for the game to be moved to Monday night at 19.45 BST.

That means that Pisa vs. Napoli, Como vs. Parma, Genoa vs. Milan and Juventus vs. Fiorentina will have to be moved to the same Monday evening kick-off slot as well.

Now, according to updates from SportMediaset and various other outlets, the Lega Serie A is preparing an urgent appeal to the regional administrative courts (TAR), which will give its response within 24 hours of the complaint.

For now, with just a few days before the next round of Serie A fixtures is due to kick off, the schedule remains completely up in the air.
