The Serie A matchday 3 derby between Juventus and Napoli will not be played after the guests do not show up for the match in Turin.
The reason for this is that 16 soccer players and 4 employees of the Southerners are isolated in their homes after Piotr Gielinski and Elif Elmas were carriers of the coronavirus.
Initially, local authorities advised Napoli not to travel to Turin at all, and then a ban was imposed.
The southerners underwent more tests after their game with Genoa. In the match, 7 players from the guests played with COVID-19, and then the number increased even more.
The Juventus players did not go out onto the pitch either and waited in the locker room, although Andrea Pirlo had chosen a starting eleven. It looked like this: Schesni, Danilo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Bentancourt, Arthur, Kulushevsky, Ramsey, Quadrado, Dibala, Ronaldo. A 3-4-1-2 was the formation he chose for this match.
In the end, the referee followed the rules, waited 45 minutes for the guests to appear and after that did not happen, announced that there would be no derby.
It remains to be seen if Napoli will suffer an official defeat or if a new date will be chosen for the clash.
