Juve in mourning postpone match


Juventus’ match with Cesena has been postponed after two youth team players died in a tragic accident.

The Serie B Week 16 game was set to kick off at 20.00 UK time, 21.00 in Italy, but was called off just minutes before the team was set to take to the field.

The Stadio Olimpico in Turin scoreboard displayed a message noting that “Due to a serious accident that has struck Juventus, this match will not be played.”

There was confusion surrounding the reasons behind the decision, although police later confirmed that two Juventus youth team players have died.

The unfortunate victims of this tragic accident were Alessio Ferramosca and goalkeeper Riccardo Neri.

The teenagers drowned in a lake at the Vinovo training centre in Turin late this afternoon, apparently when trying to recover some footballs that had fallen into the water.

Cesena accepted the request to postpone the match, although there is as yet no news as to when it will be rescheduled.

That is very odd. You'd expect 17 year olds to be able to swim. Furthermore if they were training for the club, I think Juventus FC is at fault here. Nevertheless it's tragic indeed.

Ability to swim or not, that water has to be pretty cold, IMO. And I don't know if you've ever tried to swim in a lake a week away from winter, but your muscles don't always do what you think they are otherwise capable of. :cry:

It was cold in Torino today. Probably one of the two felt sick in the water because of this and the other wasn't able to get him (and himself) out of the lake, who knows..
