Davide Astori's shock death has led to all Serie A matches being postponed.

The 31-year-old was found dead in his hotel room in the early hours of Sunday morning ahead of Fiorentina's clash with Udinese.

His former side Cagliari were due to face Genoa at 11:30am but the match was postponed just minutes before kick-off as the news filtered through.

The two sets of players were out on the pitch warming up but left in tears after discovering the devastating news.

Italian Players Association chief Damiano Tommasi called for all matches to be cancelled.

And it has been confirmed that none will go ahead after the devastating news.

AC and Inter were due to face off in the Milan derby on Sunday among other matches.

Astori, who started his career at AC Milan, enjoyed a 12-year career in Serie A.

He spent six years with Cagliari, making 174 appearances for the Sardinians during a six-year spell. Their game with Genoa on Sunday morning was also called off.

In 2014 he joined Roma on loan, before joining Fiorentina the following year.
