More than 85,000 people have been infected with the coronavirus, with nearly 3,000 deaths recorded.
Last Sunday, the youngsters of Juventus clashed against the minnows of Serie C Pianese.
After a 1-0 defeat against the under-23s last Sunday, three members of the Pianese team and a trainer tested positive for the coronavirus.
Although no Juventus player has tested positive, the joint training sessions between the first team and those under 23 have been canceled as a precaution.

“No one has tested positive, but given that the Inter match has been postponed due to health concerns, nothing is taken for granted.
