Juventus playmaker Hamza Rafia has suffered a blow in his bid to impress in pre-season after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 22-year-old is part of Massimiliano Allegri’s senior squad but has entered isolation on Thursday after discovery of his diagnosis.
All other members of the club’s staff who test negative will be permitted to continue carrying out regular activities.
Rafia enjoyed a memorable debut in January of this year when he entered as a substitute against Genoa in the Coppa Italia and netted an extra-time winner, with the Old Lady going on to lift the trophy.
