Juventus defender Daniele Rugani did not take the test to determine whether or not he had Coronavirus on the same day as Juventus versus Inter as his fiancée Michela Persico has claimed according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset.

Persico claimed that her partner was tested on the same day that the Bianconeri triumphed 2-0 over their Nerazzurri arch rivals at the Allianz Stadium in Turin but Juventus have refuted these claims with the report stating that the Italian centre back was in fact tested on March 11, three days after the game between the two clubs, and the test result was received on the same day.

Rugani tested positive for the virus and was one of the first high profile cases in the footballing world. He is one of three Juventus players to have tested positive for the virus with both Blaise Matuidi and Paulo Dybala also testing positive.
