This weekend's entire Italian football calendar of fixtures, inlcuding week 33 of the Serie A season, has been postponed after the tragic death of Livorno's Piermario Morosini on Saturday afternoon after collapsing during a Serie B fixture against Pescara.

Morosini had been on-loan to the Tuscan outfit from Udinese, with his parent club due to face Inter Milan on Saturday evening.
It had originally been thought that all fixtures would go ahead, with a minute's silence being observed at each match, but Antonello Valentini, director general of the FIGC, has confirmed that all football scheduled for this weekend will be rearranged for a later date.
Serie A tickets are available for all rescheduled matches online.
