The blue bubble did not pass the travels and the first stages towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup. From Parma to Sofia to Vilnius, even with all possible precautions and the utmost sensitivity, the staff of the Italian coach Roberto Mancini has, in fact , infected with the coronavirus with very few exceptions.
The effects are immediate. First: Leonardo Bonucci tested positive on the molecular test upon returning home. Second: thirteen Serie A clubs, more than half of the championship, only in a few hours will they be able to understand if Covid will be one more opponent to defeat or a past fear.
In the headquarters of the companies with the Azzurri who have just returned from the National efforts, the alarm went off and the protocol took to the field: the molecular tests will be repeated even today. Juventus (net of Bonucci), Inter Milan, Rome, Lazio, Naples, Fiorentina, Turin, Atalanta, Cagliari, Bologna, Spezia and Sassuolo have announced the negativity of the players traveling with Italy.
There are those, like Rome, who have chosen to create a bubble for the next two weeks in light of the risks also for the return of foreigners to Trigoria; and those who, like Bologna, have dedicated a personal dressing room to Soriano. Sassuolo has made it known that, although the negativity for Locatelli and for the defender Ferrari was confirmed, the two will not play against Roma as a precaution. The Inter fans Barella, Sensi and Bastoni, yesterday, stayed at home waiting for the result of the molecular swab for this morning.
The league trembles at the idea of widespread contagion after the blue matches. It should be noted that a third of Mancini’s 30 boys who landed from the plane from Vilnius have already had Covid in recent months and that all those players are off the radar – from Chiellini to Berardi to Cristante passing through the “Parisians” Kean, Florenzi and Verratti and the “German” Grifo – who left the blue retreat after the match in Parma ten days ago.
The bubble did not hold up and the virus hit Mancini’s closest collaborators: in total there would be seven positives, three from yesterday. –
