The Italian series B -degradation was postponed until Sunday after many Salernitana players have suffered food poisoning on their way home from the first stage against Sampdoria.

The B League series said it had accepted a request from Salernitana to postpone the return match, which was planned on Friday.

About 20 players and employees fell sick on the plane and brought Salernitana to Salerno to Salerno after the 2-0 loss of Sunday against Sampdoria in Genoa in the play-off first stage.

Salernitana is confronted with the prospect of a second consecutive relegation if they cannot destroy their shortage.

Former Serie A champions Sampdoria fight to prevent a humiliating fall from falling in the Serie C for the first time in their 79-year history.

The Genoa Club went off at the end of the regular season in May, but got a lifeline when Brescia was relegated in their place because of financial irregularities.
