Local health authorities refused Napoli to travel to Turin for Sunday’s big match against Juventus due to coronary heart disease, reports among others the Italian sports newspaper The Gazzetta dello Sport.
However, Juventus do not seem to be keen on postponing the match, too the reigning league champions write Saturday night that they will enter the grass as planned on Sunday at 20.45 for the match against Napoli.
Thus, Juventus can be awarded a 3-0 victory, because in the regulations of the European Football Association (UEFA) it is stated that if a club has 13 healthy players – including at least one goalkeeper – the match can be played.
Juventus Football Club announces that the First Team will take to the field for the Juventus – Napoli match tomorrow at 20:45, as foreseen by the Serie A League calendar.
