Juventus forward Paulo Dibala cannot get rid of COVID-19. Six weeks after being diagnosed, the Argentine still tested positive.
Dybala was one of the first in the Italian champion to obtain a coronavirus along with defender Daniele Rugani and midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
“He is fine and has no symptoms, he even trains. He is now awaiting the results of his last two tests,” said a CNN source close to the star. “Dibala respects the health system and will abide by all the guidelines and deadlines. It gives him some special privileges.”
The Juventus press office said: “Dybala is still positive, and when his tests show negative results, it will be announced.”
The attacker announced that he had contracted the coronavirus on Instagram on March 21, noting that his girlfriend, Oriana Sabatini, had also given a positive test.
At 27, he appeared on Juventus’ official YouTube channel and talked about the disease.
“I have developed severe symptoms, but today I feel better. Now I can move more calmly, walk and try to exercise. At first, it was difficult for me to breathe and I couldn’t do any activity after just five minutes.” My muscles also hurt a lot. We are happily better with Oriana. “
The Italian champion announced earlier this month that Rugani and Matthew were already fully recovered after two consecutive negative tests.
However, the Dibala case is already starting to bother people at the club.
A few days ago, the World Health Organization said “there was still no evidence” that people who had COVID-19 could not re-infect themselves.
“To date, there are no studies that categorically evaluate the response of antibodies to immunity, so we cannot say that the presence of antibodies means that someone has been immunized,” said Dr. Maria van Kerch, an infectious disease specialist. and director of “The fact that there is no evidence does not mean that immunity is not developing, but that these studies are not yet complete.”
COVID-19 deaths announced by Italian authorities are already approaching 30,000, but plans to resume soccer are already being drawn up in the country.
In a few weeks, the teams will be able to train and the Apennines’ measurements will gradually soften.
However, Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafor said renewal of the championship is less and less likely.
“The chances of a championship renewal are diminishing. If he were president of a football club, he would have already thought about organizing a safe start next season in late August. The decision of other countries, such as France, could lead to Italy and other European countries should follow it, “said Spadafor.
Last week, the premature end of the season announced the Dutch Eredivisie. On Friday, an important meeting will take place between the owners of the Serie A clubs, the leadership of the local Football Federation and the Ministry of Sports.
“I think this meeting may come as a surprise. Most clubs will want to end the season and start preparing for the next one. In three days it will be clear if the clubs can resume training on May 18.” The championship will be renewed, it will undoubtedly happen in private, “concluded the Italian sports minister.
The questions about COVID-19 are still much more than the answers, and the Dybala case is another reason not to resort to thoughtless decisions.
