WATCH: Roma hold first training session since lockdown

Italy: Roma's squad returned to training for the first time since all of Italy went into lockdown as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

After a two-month hiatus, players returned to training, under strict guidelines.

The Roma squad had their temperatures checked before being permitted to train, with social distance protocols observed during the session.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, Juventus skipper Giorgio Chiellini led the way as his squad returned to individual training at the team's sports centre.

Captain Chiellini, 35, arrived early with Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci, wearing a black face mask, just after midfielder Aaron Ramsey. Playmaker Miralem Pjanic showed up in the afternoon, along with Juan Cuadrado, Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Bernardeschi and Daniele Rugani.

Serie A champions Juve said the training sessions, which are allowed thanks to Sunday's green light from the Italian interior ministry, "will take place on an individual basis and with staggered arrivals to allow full compliance with the regulations in force".

"After a day of tests and exams carried out yesterday at J Medical, some of the Juventus players started training at the Continassa Training Centre, where they officially began their recovery to regain competitive form," Juve added.

Also, Juve’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo had began two weeks' coronavirus quarantine after returning to Italy.

Ronaldo's return is more uncertain after two months of confinement on his native island of Madeira, having played in Juventus' last match against Inter Milan on March 8 behind closed doors.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner returned with his family to Turin by private jet late on Monday, and is in quarantine awaiting tests.

Serie A was suspended at the start of March as the virus death toll began to surge in Italy.

Italy has had a reported 29,684 deaths to date.
