Bad news arrives for Venezia ahead of the Coppa Italia match against Ascoli, scheduled for Sunday, and the debut in the 2022/23 Serie B championship against Genoa, scheduled for Aug. 14. Within the Laguna team group there are in fact 13 Covid positives, thus forced to quarantine.

“As of today, Venezia FC announces that 13 club members have tested positive for Covid-19,” the club confirmed on Saturday through an official note circulated on its channels. Having informed the relevant health authorities, the members were promptly placed in isolation in observance of the procedures provided for by the health protocol.

Like Serie A, the start of Serie B is set for the weekend of August 12-14, a rather early start due to the unprecedented “winter” World Cup that will be staged in Qatar from November 21 to December 18, 2022. However, if during this period the Serie A will stop, it will not be the same for the Serie Cadetta, which will continue on a regular basis, forcing clubs with players called up for the World Cup to have to forgo it for a few days.
