Gasperini announced he had tested positive for COVID-19 in July, although it was only discovered using an antibody blood test, which found he’d contracted it in the past.
He theorised it was on the same day as the Champions League trip to Valencia, as he had a headache for a couple of days, but did not qualify for a swab at the time, as he did not have other obvious symptoms.
