Italian Super Cup. Naples will be deprived of Fabian Ruiz, positive for Covid-19, against Juventus.

Naples midfielder and Spanish international Fabian Ruiz, who tested positive for Covid-19 on Saturday, will not participate in the Italian Supercup against the Juventus Turin, Wednesday in Reggio Emilia, announced the Neapolitan club.

His teammates, as well as the members of the Napoli management, are however all negative, after being tested before the match of Serie A against Fiorentina, which takes place at midday on Sunday, the club said on its Twitter account, which is in 6th place in the championship.

The Italian Supercup pitting the winner of the Italian Cup against the Serie A champion each season will be contested for the 22nd time, in 33 editions, on Italian soil. Napoli won the Cup last season at the expense of Juventus in the final, on penalties, as the Turinese conquered their 9th consecutive scudetto.

“Unfortunately, I tested positive for Covid-19, Fabian Ruiz said on his Twitter account. “I isolated myself at home and I respect all the protocols put in place by Napoli and Serie A. I’m fine, as well as my family”, added the player.

Nigerian Napoli striker Victor Osimhen tested positive for coronavirus on his return after a vacation in his country, at the time of the end of the year holidays, for his part, is not yet healed and should therefore also miss the match against Juventus.
