ROME (AP) — Relegation-threatened Lecce's Serie A match at Atalanta on Friday will be postponed following the death of the club’s physical therapist.

Lecce made the announcement on Thursday. The Italian league was yet to confirm.

Graziano Fiorita, the physio, worked with Lecce for the more than 20 years.

Several matches this week were already rescheduled due to the death of Pope Francis. No games will be played on Saturday out of respect for the pope's funeral.

Lecce is one point above the drop zone with five rounds remaining.

Atalanta is third and on course to qualify for the Champions League.
