Piermario Morosini - Livorno and Udinese
Serie A Fixtures Cancelled Due to Death of Piermario Morosini
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.
The FIGC have confirmed the news with Italian football in mourning after the 25-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
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.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan
AC MILAN TO APPEAL IBRAHIMOVIC BAN
AC Milan confirmed today that they will appeal Zlatan Ibrahimovic's three-game ban following his recent red card and sending off against Napoli. Milan will appeal the ruling by the Italian League's Disciplinary Commission.
"AC Milan
announce to appeal the decision of the Sporting judge that banned the player Zlatan Ibrahimovic for three games."
AC Milan is on top of Serie A ahead of Juve and Lazio. Sweden international Zlatan has scored 15 times this season - and is the second-highest goal scorer in the 2011-12 Serie A campaign after Antonio Di Natale.
Superstar Ibra received the ban for "slapping" Napoli player Salvatore Aronica in the face during last Sunday's 0-0 draw.
Although he will play in Milan's Champions League fixture v Arsenal, Ibrahimovic is due to miss the top of the Serie A table clash with Serie A leaders Juventus on February 25th. (Tickets are available - AC Milan v Juventus Tickets Italian Serie A 25 Feb 2012 20:45 San Siro Stadio Milan, Italy)
The Rossoneri are in second at the top of the Serie A table - only a point behind Juve.

Alexandre Pato, AC Milan
AC Milan Update - AC Milan Football Tickets
With both Pato and Ibrahimovic on the bench, AC Milan is reportedly in a crisis. The Serie A champions travel to Udinese on Saturday after three negative results in all competitions, having drawn with Napoli and suffered defeats to Lazio and Juventus.
AC Milan is in second place behind unbeaten Juventus at the top of the Italian Serie A table.
Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri dismissed the idea that Milan are in crisis.
"I do not think Milan are in crisis," Allegri said. "We are still in the race in every competition, although Juventus are closer to the Coppa Italia final than us.
"It is hard to make predictions, but the important thing is to collect points again. We have lost three of our last five matches, we need to improve our results."
Milan needs to pick up the three points against Udinese this weekend. Milan have the best home record in Serie A, with 10 victories from 11 matches.
"Tactically speaking, it will be a hard match," Allegri explained. "We will need to be patient. We will have to be careful, both in attack and defence.
"A moment of distraction and we will be in trouble."
AC Milan superstar striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will miss the game against Udinese as part of his three-match ban.
"He made a mistake and he is paying for what he did against Napoli," Allegri noted. "To get on his back would be unfair, also because he has been amazing this season.
"We will wait for him. We have until February 23 to find out the result of our appeal and if he will be able to play against Juventus."

Alexandre Pato and Barbara Berlusconi
AC Milan have abandoned talks with Manchester City over the transfer of Carlos Tévez following Pato's decision to stay in Italy, according to reports in Italy.
Milan released a statement confirming Pato's decision to stay in Italy and reject the move to PSG.
French sources claimed PSG had previously agreed a deal worth over €28-million for Pato, potentially rising to €35m with bonuses.
The 22 year-old Brazilian's decision to reject the move to PSG, where he would have rejoined former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, seems to have put a stop to the Tévez deal.
Rumor has it - there may be a woman in the details. Barbara Berlusconi and Alexandre Pato attended the Teatro Alla Scala 2011-2012 Opening Season on December 7, 2011 in Milan, Italy.
AC Milan superstar, Alexandre Pato reportedly is in a relationship with Barbara Berlusconi, who is the daughter of Silvio Berlusconi, president of AC Milan and Italy's prime minister. Barbara currently sits as Vice-President of Milan, for the past few weeks.
The couple were spotted attending the Teatro Alla Scala 2011 - 2012 Opening Season and the inaugaration of the Armani Hotel Milano in Milan, Italy.
Alexandre was previously briefly married to an Brazilian actress.
Pato, at 22, is five years her junior.
"I feel like a normal young woman who has fallen for a man who attracts her. I don't consider it a breach of etiquette. We're both young people," she told the latest Italian edition of Vanity Fair."
Pato was signed by AC Milan in 2007 for nearly 24 million euros.
"This relationship is not a whim or a moment of madness. I would not be with him if I wasn't in love with him," she told the magazine, which featured her on its cover. "Alexandre is a person with whom it's wonderful to share things."
