The Juventus trio were reported to have been fined by police who were called by neighbours to the lockdown get-together at US midfielder McKennie’s Turin home. “I know that in such a difficult time for the world with COVID it would have been better not to make a mistake, but I was wrong to stay out for dinner,” Argentine forward Dybala wrote in a post on Instagram.
“It wasn’t a party, but I made a mistake anyway and I apologise.” The three players, who all missed international call-ups with injuries, could also face club sanctions but no decision had yet been made on the matter, a club source said. The Italian champions have had new Coronavirus positives this week after the return of their international players.
Centre-back Leonardo Bonucci tested positive on Thursday after returning from Italy duty. “Bonucci underwent a test for COVID-19 which came back positive,” Juventus said in a statement. Turkey defender Merih Demiral also tested positive while with his national side and returned to Turin on a medical flight, the team said.
