Paulo Dybala tests positive for Coronavirus

Paulo Dybala tests positive for Coronavirus for the 4th time in 6 weeks ahead of a return to training with Juventus next month.

Juventus star Paulo Dybala revealed in March that he and his partner Oriana Sabatini had tested positive for coronavirus. He was one of the three players from the club to have infected the disease. Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi were the other two.

Dybala seemed to have recovered from the disease. However, it seems that the Argentine has failed to completely shake off the disease. According to Spanish TV programme, El Chiringuito TV, Dybala has  delivered a total of four positive tests in the last six weeks despite no longer having many of the symptoms.

Serie A players are allowed to return to individual training in public from Monday, May 4.  Juventus and the other clubs will train from May 18th as they work towards a resumption of the season. However, it is unlikely that he will be joining his teammates next month.

Dybala recently spoke about his struggle in his battle with the disease.

“Luckily [we are] much better, these days we do not have any symptoms,” said Dybala.

“I had stronger symptoms. I got tired very quickly, When I wanted to train, I was short of breath after five minutes. There we noticed that something was not right and through the tests the club did we were told that we were positive.

“From there we had more symptoms, such as cough, tired body and when we slept, I felt very cold, but from the club they had told us that we were going to be fine so we had to be calm.”
