Argentine Juventus striker Paulo Dybala tested positive for COVID-19. He joins his teammates Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi, also asymptomatic.
“Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that we have received the results of the COVID-19 test and that Oriana (ed: Sabatini, his Argentinian partner) and I are positive. Fortunately, we are perfectly fine. Thank you for your messages, “wrote the Argentine star on her Twitter account.
“He is fine and asymptomatic,” Juventus said in a statement, recalling that Dybala had been in “voluntary home isolation” since Wednesday March 11. “He will continue to be watched and remain under the same regime,” the Piedmontese club wrote.
On March 11, Juventus defender Daniele Rugani was the first Serie A player to test positive for COVID-19, which was particularly virulent in Italy, where it has now claimed nearly 5,000 lives.
Several players from the Piedmontese club (Higuain, Khedira, Pjanic and Douglas Costa) have left Italy this week and the “voluntary isolation” that they have respected since March 11, creating the beginning of controversy in Italy.
At the same time, AC MIlan announces that club technical director and legend Paolo Maldini (51) and his son Daniel (18) who celebrated his Serie A debut this year are also positive. The two men are in isolation and are doing well.
