Torino game against Sassuolo off after coronavirus outbreak

The match will take place on Wednesday, March 17 at 15:00 local time. At the insistence of local health authorities, the team have been in isolation, with training suspended since Tuesday. Their fixture against Lazio next Tuesday is also in doubt.

Seven players and two staff members tested positive, with some cases of the UK variant of the virus, according to Italian media reports.

Torino's league match at Genoa in October was also postponed after an outbreak at the home club.

UEFA rules state that a match can take place as long as a team can count on 13 healthy players, including a goalkeeper.
