It depends how soon we can train as a team. Health authorities prohibited all team training till Sunday. Hopefully there won't be any more contagions and they can return training on Sunday. They also deserve some rest days in these 2 weeks.

Mancini must be devastated and livid that he can't have Barella and Bastoni as his only full time starters in those three international games til end of month.

Apparently all those who test negative by Monday can technically travel for Internationals. Fuck that shit. Inter need to make a stand here. Last thing we want is another outbreak from those who travelled around.

The man is clearly a dreamer, he called up Sensi too.

Fuck that shit indeed. We cannot allow anyone to travel anywhere. Specially Hakimi who would need to quarantine for 14 days when he returns to Italy from Africa (per Italian COVID restrictions).

It depends on the ATS. Even if the buffers won't show positive results besides the current 5 (4 players and a staff members), the ATS could still decide to stop the NT players.

From what i read, the team is in 14 days of quarantine.

Whole team and stuff members are in 14 days od quarantine so it doesnt make sense that some players will travel fo Internationals. That would be moronic.

Am I the only one who thinks that was better to playe with Sassuolo now? I mean we have only two starters missing and Handanovic this season is not so convincing against weaker opponents. Sassuolo would have had only two days for recovery which should benefits us as well.
Now the game will be played somewhere midweek and we'll have 3 games per week.

GdS reports no further players have tested positive at this stage. In other good news, Marotta has apparently left hospital too.

We should win this game anyway. I dont understand why always looking at our rivals, we are the best team in Serie A.

The main reason i think this Covid19 thing is good for us, it's the NT players that should stay in Milano.

Yeah this turns out to be net negative when the game wasn't played IF players are released to NT duties. Our schedule gets tougher, we don't get to put pressure to Juve (and Milan) and our KEY players get no rest. We might even go behind in matches played if this match is scheduled one week after Juve-Napoli.

I would have rather played this match even without no Handa and De Vrij if NT players are going to go.

I see people are labeling it as "negative" that the match was postponed. Bear in mind that a member of the staff was found positive the day after the postponement, i.e. without the stop the virus could have continued to spread. It´s also not certain that they would be able to train properly with the virus fear over them.

Stop worrying guys.

The Scudetto was already in the bag 5 games ago, I said at that point Rube would at least lose 5 points, they already lost those 5 points and a lot ahead of schedule than what I expected.

One can wonder why Italy suffered so much from Covid19, but releasing the NT players to go abroad will show exactly why. It would be such an idiotic decision and i hope they won't take it.

Imo none of the Serie A players should leave for NT (like they did in France). This break is idiotic that could cause many troubles for the clubs and even more than the clubs. The Conmebol decided to postpone the NT matches, Uefa should have done the same.
