Juventus confirm that midfielder Blaise Matuidi tests positive coronavirus, becoming the second player from the Italian champions to contract the virus.

Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi has tested positive for coronavirus.

The 32-year-old has become the second player from the Old Lady to contract COVID-19, with defender Daniele Rugani testing positive for the virus last week.

The Serie A champions confirmed the Frenchman's diagnosis on Tuesday, and said in a statement: "Blaise Matuidi has undergone medical tests that have revealed his positivity to the Coronavirus-COVID-19.

"The player, as of Wednesday 11 March, has been in voluntary home isolation. He will continue to be monitored and will follow the same regime. He is well and is asymptomatic."

With Italy being one of the worst-affected nations of the pandemic, the whole country is under lockdown and all matches in Serie A have been suspended until further notice.

Matuidi has made 119 appearances for Maurizio Sarri's side since his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.
