Paulo Dybala announced on his social media account that after undergoing tests, he tested positive for COVID-19.
The star of Turin's Juventus team isolated himself at home, so his girlfriend also contracted the coronavirus.
"We want to inform you that our COVID-19 tests are positive. Luckily, we are feeling fine," the football player wrote.
Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi from the Juventus team had previously contracted the coronavirus.
In Italy, the COVID-19 virus has been detected in more than 50 thousand people.
