It’s been confirmed that Torino-Juventus will kick off at 21:45 CET (20:45 BST) after protests from Bianconeri ultras who had asked not to play the match and have now left the stadium.

There’s a new kick-off time for the Turin Derby between Torino and Juventus, which will officially begin at 21:45 CET.

The start of the match has been postponed by one hour following protests from Juventus ultras, who did not want to play the match as a sign of support for a fan hospitalised in critical condition after clashes with Torino ultras prior to the game.

Both Juventus and Torino players emerged from the tunnel just a few minutes ago to terminate their warm-up before kick-off.

Juventus ultras had threatened to invade the pitch if the game was played tonight, and once they learned the game would go ahead, they left the stands in the away end.

Even some Torino ultras left the stadium after the players entered the field, as they believed the match should not be played.
