Juve's Bentancur tests positive for COVID-19
(Reuters) - Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has tested positive for COVID-19 and has gone into isolation, the Serie A champions said on Thursday.
The Uruguay international, who has been a regular in Andrea Pirlo's side this season, will miss the weekend Serie A clash with Lazio, and is unlikely to play against Porto in next week's Champions League last 16 second leg.
"Rodrigo Bentancur has tested positive for COVID-19, the player is in isolation and asymptomatic," a Juventus statement read. "The club is in contact with the relevant health authorities."
Juve players Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro tested positive for COVID-19 in January and Cristiano Ronaldo did so in October.
