“Fotball, right now, is not a priority. We can't put anyone under pressure. While there's still danger, we won't play and if we have to wait one, two, three weeks, we'll do it as much as necessary. ”

Infantino expresses sadness over the general health situation.

There are people suffering, people dying. And we see that many people have not yet realized how serious the situation is. In Italy, numbers are dropping, necessary measures have been taken. Doctors are real heroes, it's like you're at war. ”

And he comes back to comment on football.

We want to go back to football, let's see it, but now it's health in the first place. In our history, for the first time, football is not a priority. Painful, but so it is. Calendar? We won't risk people's lives for a ball match. We play when we can, maybe July, maybe August. ”
