Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus debut set for delay

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Seire A debut is set to be delayed, as Italians mourn the Genoa bridge tragedy. A state of emergency has been declared after 39 people died following the collapse of a motorway bridge. Serie A have already postponed Sampdoria’s game against Fiorentina and Milan’s clash with Genoa. Juventus were set to face Chievo, with Ronaldo to take his debut at Juve. However, Sampdoria’s chairman has confirmed that Juventus do not intend to play. "I talked with Agnelli, he told me Juventus won't be playing. It's impossible to think about playing football, on Saturday there will be the State Funeral service," he said. A statement from Fiorentina added: "We think that, in front of tragedies like the one that happened in Genoa, everything else become secondary. "In this moment it should be worth that the Italian football stopped, to mourn and respect the mourning of tens of families. Football is passion and fun, but this is a moment of pain: we should all be close to Genoa and its casualties".
