Juventus fans have been given the all clear to travel to France for a midweek Champions League clash against Lyon despite the spread of Coronavirus in Italy, the Italian club confirmed.
Upcoming matches in Serie A and the Europa League will be played behind closed doors to combat the highly-contagious virus which on Tuesday spread to Tuscany and Sicily in the south of the country.
Napoli's Champions League last 16, first leg match against Barcelona in Naples on Tuesday will go ahead on front of supporters at the San Paolo Stadium.
And French authorities and Lyon announced that "no special restrictions will be implemented for Juventus fans," the Turin club said in a statement.
"Fans following Juventus will be able to watch tomorrow's Champions League match at the Groupama Stadium without any problems."
"They tell me that the dates are tight, but the need is to safeguard health."
