February 24, 2021 "There is a possibility that the match against Sassuolo will not be played. If there had not been the English variant, we would not have taken this position. A decision will be made by tomorrow."

Thus the dg of the ASL of Turin, Carlo Picco, on the Covid outbreak that stopped Turin.

Even today the club communicates a further positivity and the team does not train.

"Faced with a cluster with important suggestions of the English variant - added Picco - with diffusion between players and people close to them, we need to reflect. They are swabbing every day, there is not yet a definitive word, but possibility that you will not play ".

A real outbreak among the grenades, therefore, on Friday engaged in the home advance against Sassuolo, scheduled for the Olimpico Grande Torino.

The game, however, is increasingly at risk of being postponed due to the many positivity at home Toro.

The cases of Covid-19 inside the Turin dressing room are increasing: in addition to Linetty, Murru and Buongiorno, already excluded from the Cagliari trip on Friday, four other players would have been added.

Waiting for official communications from via Arcivescovado, one of these would be, unconfirmed by the club, Andrea Belotti, grenade captain and center forward of the national team, who became a father yesterday. 

Cavese - Potenza, scheduled for Saturday at 15, valid for the twenty-seventh day of group C of Serie C, it goes towards the postponement.

The positives at Covid-19 in the Metellian home are 21: 13 players, 4 members of the technical staff and 4 managers.

The Club Secretariat is in contact with the health and sports authorities.

Meanwhile, Monopoli, which last Sunday challenged the blufoncé, subjected the members of their "team group" to the molecular test as a precaution.

Negative result for all members.

Next Friday new round of tampons.

Basically there would still be the numbers in order not to invalidate the regular dispute of the Cavese-Potenza match on Saturday, given that the regulation provides for the obligation to take the field in the event of ascertained availability of at least 13 members including at least one goalkeeper.

But the Metellian society still has the so-called wild card available to ask for a postponement, so given the importance of the match in terms of salvation, the request could arrive not to play the challenge with Potenza.

A provision from the Salerno Local Health Authority could also arrive and at that point the next challenge with Ternana scheduled for March 3 would also be missed.
