Following Krunic and Rebic’s positive result, the rest of the AC Milan were tested for the virus. 

The club revealed that all other Milan players have returned a negative test and will available for title showdown with Juventus.

However, the news of additional positive cases could throw this evening’s game into further doubt after authorities already threatened to cancel the fixture after Sandro and Cuadrado’s results.

Italian health authorities revealed that they would prevent Juventus from travelling to the game if there was evidence of an uncontrolled outbreak within Pirlo’s side. 

Given that Juventus and AC Milan have both seen players contract the virus, local authorities may look to intervene.   

Should the game go ahead as planned, Krunic and Rebic’s absence will come as a blow to Stefano Pioli. 

Pioli is already missing Sandro Tonali, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexis Saelemaekers, Ismael Bennacer and Matteo Gabbia for this evening’s game.
