Juventus defender, Daniele Rugani, has tested positive for coronavirus, the club has confirmed.

Although the Serie A champions said Rugani is currently not showing signs of any COVID-19 symptoms, he has contracted the illness.

The 25-year-old was named as a substitute during the club’s last game, a 2-0 win over Inter Milan on March 8, which took place behind closed doors.

“The footballer Daniele Rugani has tested positive for Coronavirus-COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic.

“Juventus Football Club is currently activating all the isolation procedures required by law, including the census of those who have had contact with him,” an official club statement read.

After the Inter win, Rugani posted a photo on Twitter, showing him celebrating with his team-mates in the dressing room.

It will be recalled that sunday’s serie A fixture between Juventus and Inter Milan was played behind close doors because of the coronavirus outbreak in Europe.

Confirmed cases of the Coronavirus, also known as Covid-19, has been reported in Italy as more than 400 people have been infected. Almost all the cases are reported in northern Italy.

Juventus confirmed this in a statement on its official website on Thursday.

Maurizio Sarri’s men head to the game following a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in the Champions League round of 16 first leg encounter on Wednesday.

“Juventus vs. Inter, scheduled for 20:45 on Sunday 1 March at the Allianz Stadium, will be played behind closed doors,” a club statement read.

“Lega Serie A communicated, in compliance with the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers from 25 February 2020, further implementing provisions of the decree-law from 23 February 2020, n. 6, containing urgent measures regarding the containment and management of the epidemiological emergency that is COVID-19.”

The match venue is at the Allianz Stadium, and the kick-off is at 8:45 pm.
