STORY: Juventus and AC Milan are gearing up for the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Friday (June 12) which is the first professional match in Italy for three months due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After months of no matches, Italy's largely unloved Coppa Italia will enjoy a moment in the spotlight as it restarts the season following the coronavirus stoppage.

Kick-off is at 2100p.m. (1900GMT) at Juventus' Allianz Stadium on Friday.
