Venezia have announced another four players have tested positive for COVID-19, taking the current total to eight, while there might be more for Fiorentina.

A statement this evening confirmed the latest swabs had highlighted another four infections within the squad.

They have been placed into self-isolation and the local health authorities informed.

There were already five who had tested positive, but one of those turned negative today and will now have a medical examination before he can be allowed to resume training.

Fiorentina already have Dusan Vlahovic, Riccardo Saponara and Lucas Torreira testing positive.
