Salernitana have requested the second leg of their Serie B relegation play-off against Sampdoria be postponed, after players and staff were admitted to hospital with food poisoning.

The Italian club have formally requested a postponement after 21 of the travelling party became ill as they flew back from Genoa after losing Sunday’s first leg 2-0.

Salernitana face relegation to Italy’s third tier after dropping out of Serie A 12 months ago, but many of their players are too ill to train before Friday’s second leg.

    Never heard? those two clubs were in Serie A not long ago. I still remember Palermo playing in Serie A years ago.

      I don’t even follow the top league in my own country, let alone another one. The post just showed up in my feed and I couldn’t help but comment on the names.
