Minute silence for Juve players
Reuters, Turin
A minute's silence will be observed on Italian soccer pitches at the weekend and all players will wear black armbands in memory of two teenagers from the Juventus youth team who drowned on Friday. Alessio Ferramosca and Riccardo Neri, both aged 17, drowned in a small, fenced artificial lake inside the club's training centre. The two appeared to have fallen in the ice-cold water of the 4-metre deep lake as they were trying to retrieve a football. Juventus postponed their Serie B game at home to Cesena on Friday and all youth team matches scheduled for the weekend. The Turin side, who were demoted from Serie A last season because of a match-fixing scandal, are top of Serie B.
