Soccer-Italy's FA cancels Salernitana's default loss to Udinese


(Reuters) - The Italian Football Association (FIGC) appeals court on Monday overturned a Serie A decision penalising Salernitana for failing to travel to Udinese for a league fixture on December 21 due to COVID-19 cases in their squad.

The Salerno club were prohibited from travelling by their local health authority (ASL), but the league's governing body refused to postpone the tie, saying the team still had enough available players in their squad for the fixture to go ahead.
