April 6 (Reuters) - Juventus forward Federico Bernardeschi has become the sixth Italy player to test positive for COVID-19 since the international break, the Serie A champions said in a statement on Tuesday. There are growing concerns over the number of cases among the Italy squad, who played three World Cup qualifiers in the last two weeks. Florenzi’s PSG team mate and fellow Italy international Marco Verratti will also miss the Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash with Bayern Munich on Wednesday, after testing positive on Friday. Bernardeschi is the second Juve player to go into isolation after Leonardo Bonucci also contracted the virus, while Torino said on Monday that an unnamed player had tested positive there as well. Four members of the Italy team staff tested positive last Wednesday.
