Salernitana’s Serie B survival hangs by a thread after bout of food poisoning
Much of squad in hospital after game against Sampdoria
Double relegation looms after playoff first leg defeat
Salernitana’s fight for survival has veered into chaos with a bout of food poisoning hospitalising much of the squad halfway through their showdown with Sampdoria.
The Serie B side, fighting to avoid dropping to Italy’s third tier, have requested a postponement of the second leg of their relegation playoff on Friday because players and coaching staff remain too ill to train.
