Football news - Juventus defender Daniele Rugani tests positive for coronavirus

All club football has been suspended in Italy after parts of the country were placed in lockdown by the government in an effort to contain the spread of the virus.

Juventus are due to face Lyon in Turin behind closed doors in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 game on 17 March, though it is possible the game will be postponed after both Inter Milan and Roma had Europa League games called off this week.

A statement on the club's website said: "The footballer Daniele Rugani has tested positive for Coronavirus-COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic.

"Juventus Football Club is currently activating all the isolation procedures required by law, including the census of those who have had contact with him."

As a result Inter Milan have confirmed that they have suspended all competitive activities and the team will go into isolation.

"You've read the news, so I want to reassure everyone who's worried about me, I'm fine," Rugani said on Twitter.

Rugani, who is not a regular first team player, has made seven appearances this season, including two in February. He was on the bench for Sunday's game against Inter Milan.

A source close to Juventus said the entire squad will have to spend two weeks in quarantine, meaning they would not be able to face Olympique Lyonnais in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on March 17.
