It also remains to be seen whether the Arancioneroverdi can play their first two Serie B games since the lockdown was eased against Pordenone and Ascoli over the next fortnight.
That is because the health protocol stipulates teams with even just one positive case must isolate for 14 days.
Venezia midfielder Antonio Junior Vacca tested positive for coronavirus on April 6, becoming Serie B’s first case, but recovered three weeks later.
