All Serie A matches scheduled for Sunday have been postponed following the death of Fiorentina's captain David Astori, the Italian football league announced.
Astori, age 31, died in a hotel room in the northern Italian city of Udine on Sunday, where Fiorentina had been holding its camp ahead of a league match against Udinese, reports Efe.
"All the fixtures scheduled for today are postponed as a sign of mourning. Farewell Astori," Serie A tweeted.
Astori joined the Milan youth academy and played for Cagliari and Roma before moving on loan to Fiorentina, later signing a long-term contract in 2016.
