Napoli signed Petagna in January before loaning him back to previous club SPAL for the rest of 2019-20.
Petagna, who has two caps for Italy, has recently been linked with a possible move to Arsenal.
He has scored 28 Serie A goals in the past two seasons.
Andrea Petagna has tested positive for COVID-19.
Petagna is currently asymptomatic and has begun isolating at home. Once his isolation period is over, he will be retested and – if negative – will be free to rejoin the squad.
