(Reuters) -Atalanta's Serie A match against Lecce scheduled for Friday has been postponed after the death of the visitors' physiotherapist, Lecce said in a statement on Thursday.
"The physiotherapist (Graziano Fiorita), who had been with the Giallorossi for over twenty years, was with the team at their training camp in Coccaglio," the club said in a statement.
"The team will immediately return to Lecce, as tomorrow’s scheduled match against Atalanta will be postponed."
Atalanta are third in Serie A on 64 points, seven behind leaders Inter Milan. Lecce are 17th with 26, a point above the relegation zone with five rounds of matches remaining.
