The Italian champions were taking every precaution necessary over player safety by testing each and every member who entered the facility for coronavirus.

Only the Juve stars who remained in the country over the lockdown period turned up to training including Leonardo Bonucci, Federico Bernardeschi, Juan Cuadrado and Carlo Pinsoglio.

They were medically screened in the car park before heading inside the facility to work on their fitness.

Italy has been one of the worst-hit nations with over 210,000 confirmed cases and just under 30,000 deaths.

The Juventus players will remain under strict government protocol that includes maintaining a safe distance between players and training among small groups.

Star player Paulo Dybala had tested positive for the virus just over a month ago but has made a full recovery.

No teams will be able to train as a full group until at least May 18 at the earliest.

AC Milan and Roma have also returned with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Giacomo Bonaventura wearing protective face masks on their arrival.

Sassuolo were the first team to return to training yesterday two months after their last fixture.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, they have three fields available for each group of six players and a minimum distance of 20 metres during the exercises.

The sessions last an hour and each player immediately returns home to shower instead of using the dressing room facilities.

“In terms of the resumption of the championship – for now we don’t talk about it.”
