Juve, Alex Sandro positive at Covid

The Juventus club announced it: the player is already in isolation with mild symptoms but last night he played 83 ‘and there is concern for other possible infections

Andrea Pirlo already knows who he will have to do without for Milan-Juventus: not only Alvaro Morata, who is injured and almost certainly will not recover, Alex Sandro, hit by Covid, has also added to the list of unavailable players. The club announced the Brazilian’s positivity, which emerged after a checkup following some mild symptoms. The player is already in isolation and now the whole team will enter the bubble, as per protocol, to continue training and be able to play matches.

Juve in the bubble

—

Alex Sandro played almost the entire match with Udinese (he came out in the 83rd minute) and consequently was in contact with all his team-mates, who will now be swabbed. It is logical that there is a bit of apprehension, because any other positivity would put the coach in difficulty in a delicate moment of the season: Juve will face Milan, Sassuolo and Inter in sequence in the league and then will have the Super Cup against Napoli.

Alex Sandro is the sixth Juventus infected. Before him, Rugani (the first player ever in Serie A), Matuidi and Dybala, who fell ill between March and April 2020, were positive. Cristiano Ronaldo and McKennie stopped during the current season.
