FIGC also confirmed Serie A games this weekend will go ahead after the governing body’s president Gabriele Gravina had previously suggested they could be suspended after the violence at the San Siro.Gravina toldSky Sports Italy: “Saturday will be played, there will be regular matches. The championship will not stop.“The next games will be played out, a decision taken in agreement with all the offices of the Federation. We do not stop against those who want to contaminate our world.”On the allegations of racism at the San Siro, Gravina added: “The line must be very tough but here too I invite everyone to make a reflection of respect for the roles. “We are grateful to the Ministry of the Interior for what they do to ensure the security of the events, as well as to the police bodies that have already arrested three subjects.“I have to worry about the sport and what emerges negatively is the racist chorus against Koulibaly.”Milan mayor Giuseppe Sala issued an apology for Koulibaly for the abuse, asking for forgiveness from the 27-year-old.Sala said:“The boos aimed at Koulibaly were shameful.3

A number of people have come out in support of Koulibaly since the alleged incident

“A shameful act towards a true athlete who wears the colour of his skin with pride.“I apologise to Kalidou Koulibaly on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Milan who testify to the feeling that we are brothers even in these difficult times.”Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said he will call an emergency meeting in the new year.
