This Sunday there was an unprecedented situation in Italian football. Napoli did not travel to Turin for the match against Juventus due to ban from the health authorities of the Campania region. In the Neapolitan team there were 3 positives for COVID-19 and the confinement of the campus was immediately ordered.
Juventus did not take into account the situation of their rival and appeared at the stadium to play the game, based on the regulations of the Italian Football Federation and the protocol designed for these cases. La Vecchia Signora would take the 3 points and Napoli would take one. The official pronouncement of the championship committee is expected on Monday.
“I believe that the protocol developed by the Federation is a good document, which must be updated as appropriate. This is an atypical situation for everyone, within the context of life in this period (…) This document gives me peace of mind about continuing with the season. As for the sports rules, they are clear: those who do not show up will face disciplinary consequences, “said Andrea Agnelli, president of Juventus.
What will happen to Cuadrado and his trip to the National Team?
Luca Stefanini, head of Juventus Medical Department, also spoke at President Agnelli’s press conference. He noted that no team player tested positive for coronavirus in the latest tests, carried out this Sunday morning. The template is kept in a bubble under all biosecurity measures.
Regarding the South American players (Cuadrado, Dybala, Bentancur and Danilo) who will have qualifying matches on this FIFA date, Stefanini said that to travel they must have the authorization of the Local Health Agency. “Players cannot exit the bubble until ASL allows“.
David Ospina’s situation to travel would be more complicated. Everything indicates that he will stay in the isolation of Napoli in his sports city. The FCF has not yet ruled.
