Juventus defender Daniele Rugani is the first confirmed case in Serie A, followed today by Manolo Gabbiadini of Sampdoria.

After The Sun reported at least three Premier League players tested positive, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers announced they were running more tests.

“We’ve had a few players that have shown symptoms and signs (of coronavirus). We’ve followed procedures and (as a precaution) they have been kept away from the squad.”

It’s reported there are three Leicester City players with symptoms and they are self-isolating.

Juventus confirmed Rugani tested positive for Coronavirus, but was showing no symptoms, so it was probably still in the early stages.

Gabbiadini has “a slight fever,” but is otherwise fine.
