Udinese and Torino’s Serie A matches this week could be postponed after local health authorities banned squad members from playing following Covid-19 outbreaks, APA reports citing News 18.

Udinese, who have seen nine players test positive for the virus, on Wednesday requested that Serie A postpones their games against Fiorentina on Thursday and Atalanta on Sunday. Local authorities have said the squad should quarantine until the end of the week.

Torino announced their “whole squad" had been placed in “home quarantine" for five days after six players tested positive.

They are scheduled to face Atalanta on Thursday and Fiorentina this weekend.

Bologna later Wednesday said that eight of their players had also tested positive and called for the postponement of Thursday’s game against Inter Milan and Sunday’s match with Cagliari.
