Kevin-Prince Boateng was dropped from the AC Monza squad to face Salernitana in the Serie B on Saturday.

The 34-year-old had to be omitted from the team after breaching COVID-19 rules to visit a casino in Lugano, Switzerland.

The player who tested negative after a swab had to be made to stay home after it was reported there could be positive cases at the casino.

Boateng is joined by teammates Bellusci, Donati, Gytkjaer, Armellino, BarillĂ , Anastasio and Bettella as players to miss the trip to Salernitana.

“AC Monza announces that the ATS Brianza and Milan have ordered the active isolation of the 8 players, all of whom are negative to the swab, about which the press has written. Consequently, they could well take part in the Salernitana-Monza match of May 1, 2021, but this will not be the case for exclusive technical reasons, due to a deficit in athletic training, not having had the opportunity to train from April 27,” a statement from Monza read.

The former AC Milan and Barcelona forward joined the Serie B side in the summer transfer window and has since made 23 appearances and scored five times for the club.
