With Juventus close to return to training, Paulo Dybala tests positive for coronavirus for fourth time in six weeks

Just as Juventus were about the restart their training, Paulo Dybala has been tested positive for coronavirus for the fourth time in just six weeks.

The forward was among the first Serie A players to contract COVID-19 alongside team-mates Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi.

The player on March 21 had confirmed to his 37.9million Instagram followers that both he and girlfriend Oriana Sabatini had caught the virus.

However, the Spanish programme El Chiringuito stated that Dybala has had four tests across the last six weeks and the latest one turned positive. It is still unclear his girlfriend Sabatini has also been tested positive or if either of them are still displaying symptoms.

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

As for Serie A, the clubs are allowed to return to individual training on May 4 and team training on May 18.
