Players from six clubs — Fiorentina, Genoa, Inter Milan, Lazio, AS Roma and Sassuolo — are self-isolating because of COVID-19 cases in their squads.
The Italian football federation (FIGC) said they would join up with the national team “when agreed with the relevant health authorities.”
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile is among those players. Last season’s European Golden Shoe winner has had conflicting results for tests for COVID-19.
