Football is not a priority now, Kolarov

CAIRO-19 March 2020: Roma Serbian defender, Aleksandar Kolarov, believes that it will be difficult to complete the season amid the outbreak of coronavirus.

“Honestly, I don’t know how we can start again in May and finish by June 30. I’m not very optimistic, even if I hope so." The defender told Serbian press on Thursday.

The Italian league like many football leagues worldwide was suspended as part of the government's precautionary and prevention measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Kolarov added "Football is not a priority now; we would like to be back on the pitch as soon as possible but we must be rational."

UEFA decided earlier to postpone UEFA EURO 2020 to 2021 summer to give the local federations the proper time to complete the season.

The Serbian continued "Given the situation in Italy, I don’t know how we will be able to conclude everything by June.”
