Torino are reportedly considering an appeal after last week’s 4-3 home defeat against Lazio as the Biancocelesti are suspected to have fielded two players who had tested positive for Covid.
It was a very chaotic week for the Biancocelesti who are facing Juventus today without the likes of Ciro Immobile, Lucas Leiva and Thomas Strakosha who are reportedly positive for Covid-19.
As a club's policy, Lazio do not reveal the identity of their players who are positive for Covid-19.

As a club's policy, Lazio do not reveal the identity of their players who are positive for Covid-19.
The trio had had a positive swab test ahead of Lazio’s Champions League clash against Club Burgge on October 28 but during the following week-end they were included into Lazio’s team to face Torino with Immobile and Leiva who entered the pitch in the second half. Immobile even scored the equalizer from the spot.
UEFA did once again prevent them from playing the successive Champions League match against Zenit St. Petersburg as the trio were still positive for Covid and the same happened yesterday when the swab tests underwent by the three Lazio stars came back positive, even if ‘midly.’
The FIGC Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into Lazio and possible violations of the health protocols made by the Aquile who risk anything 'between fines to exclusion from the championship.
According to Tuttosport, Torino could field an appeal during the interational break as they believe Immobile, Strakosha and Leiva should have not been included in the squad.
