Juventus and Argentina football player Paulo Dybala has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Italian club said in a statement.

"I just wanted just [sic] to inform you that we have received the results for the Covid-19 test and both Oriana and I have tested positive. Luckily we are in perfect conditions. Thanks for your messages", the forward said on Twitter.
