Juventus star Paulo Dybala revealed that he has been given the all-clear six weeks after contracting coronavirus, but Serie A rivals Torino confirmed that one of their players had tested positive.

"Many people talked in the past weeks ... but I can finally confirm that I am healed. Thank you once again for your support and my thoughts on all who are still suffering from it. Take care," tweeted the 26-year-old Argentina forward.

But city rivals Torino revealed that an unnamed player had been diagnosed with COVID-19 during testing of players and staff as Serie A teams return to individual training this week.

"During the first medical tests carried out on the Torino FC players, a positivity to COVID-19 emerged," the northern club said in a statement.

"The football player, currently asymptomatic, was immediately placed in quarantine and will be constantly monitored."
Dybala on Wednesday also posted a picture of himself on Instagram with his arms outstretched looking at the sky: "My face says it all, I'm finally cured from Covid-19."
"The player has, therefore, recovered and will no longer be subjected to the home isolation regime."
