Covid: blue cluster, after Bonucci positive Verratti

After Leonardo Bonucci there is a second positive blue at Covid-19. It is Marco Verratti, although the Paris SG midfielder had left the retirement of the national team early, due to a blunt trauma to the left thigh suffered against Bulgaria, without therefore taking part in the match against Lithuania, the last of the three of qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Alessandro Florenzi also returned to Paris with him. The virus, evidently, does not make discounts and for the blue group, after the ascertained positivity of several staff members, we can speak of a cluster. So all the teams are on the alert, with rounds of tampons to be repeated daily. Those of the Roma players (including Dzeko, subjected to tests as there was a case of positivity in Bosnia too), as well as those of the Atalantians Toloi and Pessina, and the Napoli blues, Meret, Di Lorenzo and Insigne, tested at dawn yesterday on their return from Vilnius. But it is clear that the guard cannot be lowered, there were also those who, like Sassuolo, to prevent problems, decided not to let their national teams, specifically Locatelli and Ferrari, take the field to avoid risks. Ditto for Muldur, back from the Turkish selection and also excluded from tomorrow's match against Roma. Negative also Gigio Donnarumma, who will therefore be regularly on the pitch in the lunchtime match between Milan and Sampdoria. But the championship remains in suspense and, not surprisingly, new rounds of tampons are on the way. It could not be otherwise
