The Turin health authority has
reported several Juventus players to prosecutors for breaching
COVID-19 quarantine in order to respond to call-ups from their
national teams, according to press reports on Wednesday.
The squad was put into precautionary isolation on Saturday after
two club staff members tested positive for the coronavirus.
The press reports quoted a health authority official saying that
the club itself reported that some players had left the
isolation regime at the club's J Hotel.
The players who joined their national teams were Rodrigo
Bentancur, Juan Cuadrado, Danilo, Paulo Dybala and Cristiano
Ronaldo, while Gianluigi Buffon and Merih Demiral left the group
to go home.
They risk fines of 400 euros.
Other players stayed at the J Hotel, including Adrien Rabiot,
who will be able to respond to a call-up from the French
national team on Thursday if his two swabs are negative at the
end of the five-day isolation period.
