(Reuters) - Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo believes Serie A title rivals Inter Milan could benefit from the consequences of a COVID-19 outbreak, as their national team players are set to stay in Italy during the coming international break.

Inter's league match against Sassuolo, scheduled for Saturday, was postponed on Thursday after two more coronavirus cases brought the total number of positive cases in their playing squad to four.
