Inter defender Danilo D’Ambrosio has opened up on how it has felt to be in quarantine as a result of the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic.
Italy is currently in complete lock down with the Italian government desperate to try and contain and prevent the spread of the virus with people urged to stay at home and only leave if absolutely necessary.
D’Ambrosio has admitted that he finds himself in unknown territory in being stuck at home but is enjoying being able to spend extra time with his partner and two young children.
“Staying at home for so long has never happened to me before but I must say that staying with my family is the most beautiful and most exciting thing of all. I am really happy to be with them 24 hours a day,” he told Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia earlier on today.
“The biggest victory would be to win this battle against Covid-19. The doctors work incessantly day and night and I wish to take this opportunity to thank them.”
Whilst the Inter players are in lock down, Inter manager Antonio Conte has been keen to ensure that his players follow some sort of training routine to keep them in shape for when they are able to return to training and start playing again and D’Ambrosio then went on to reveal that Conte is always checking in on the team.
“The coach always messages us to ask us how we are and if we are continuing to respect the training schedule and nutritional plan.”
