It was reported last week that Dybala was still positive for coronavirus hence the 26-year-old was not allowed to join his Juventus team-mates for practice. Serie A are hoping to restart the league hence, teams are allowed to return to training under string guidelines. ‘No soccer balls. No contact with teammates. And no entering the locker room.’ Are some of the rules to be followed.

The 26-year-old was the third player after Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi to have tested positive from the Bianconerri’s. Although the two were asymptomatic, Dybala showed strong symptoms. It is still unclear when the Argentine will return to full training as he might be allowed to rest for a few more days by the club.
