Juventus have dismissed claims that Argentine forward Paulo Dybala has tested positive for coronavirus, as the whole squad at the Italian giants remains in self-isolation after defender Daniele Rugani contracted the disease.
Juventus currently have 121 people in isolation – including first team stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo – after it emerged this week that Rugani, 25, had tested positive for Covid-19.
Rumors have circulated that Argentine ace Dybala, 26, has become the second Juve player to contract the illness – although Bianconeri bosses have now “categorically denied” those claims, according to Italy’s ANSA news agency.
The entire Juve squad will remain in self-isolation for the advised two-week period, while the Italian Serie A has been suspended until at least April 3.
Ronaldo is currently at home in Portugal after visiting his mother, who recently suffered a stroke. He will remain there in quarantine before returning to Italy, according to reports.
