1st test at Bologna negative for coronavirus

Bologna says a test carried out on a member of its staff who was suspected of having coronavirus has come back negative. The club says that a "further, definitive test" will be carried out in the next few hours.

The players will nevertheless train individually as a precaution. It would be the first positive case in Serie A since the teams started training in groups if it is confirmed. The entire squad would have to go into quarantine.

Serie A has been suspended since March 9 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The league is hoping to restart on June 13.
