Dybala ‘tests positive for coronavirus for fourth time in six weeks’

Juventus forward, Paulo Dybala, has tested positive for Coronavirus for the fourth time in six weeks, according to Spanish programme El Chiringuito.

Dybala confirmed on March 21, that he and his girlfriend Oriana Sabatini, has contracted the virus.

It is believed the Argentine has had a total of four tests in six weeks as a result of his initial diagnosis, with his most recent coming back positive.

Dybala recently spoke out about his fight with the disease, explaining how he had been struggling to breathe.

He also claimed he and his girlfriend were feeling much better, but it seems the forward is struggling to shake off the illness.

It is unclear if Sabatini has also been tested or if either of them are still displaying symptoms.

They do appear in high spirits though, with Dybala’s Instagram story showing the striker working out in a home gym and then the pair doing a TikTok dance together, days after they welcomed dog Kaia to the family.

The reports come just days after Juventus got in touch with their players who had travelled back to their homelands for the lockdown.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Douglas Costa were among those to be called back to Turin as Juventus look to try and return to training, as teams in Germany and England have done.

But those stars arriving back in Italy will need to go into quarantine for a further two weeks before they can reunite with their team-mates at the training ground.

Serie A sides are allowed to return to individual training on May 4 and team training on May 18.

That is after Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte announced the primary stages of lifting the country’s lockdown.

Italy was the first European epicentre for the virus and have seen 202,000 confirmed cases with 27,359 deaths.
