Juventus defender Daniele Rogani confirmed on Monday
that he is “well” after he became the first elite soccer
player to prove he was infected with the new Corona
virus, expressing his hope that his injury had “raised
awareness” for everyone.
“I am feeling well, I want to allay everyone’s fears,” the
defender said in comments to the old lady’s team
channel.
“However, it was a real shock because I was the first
among soccer players. I hope this topic has helped raise
awareness, especially among those who did not
understand the seriousness of this problem.”
Rogani, 25, who is currently in compulsory quarantine in
a room in his team’s hotel in Turin, sent a message of
thanks to his fans, saying that “a lot of people wrote to
me and I thank them. I will go beyond that, we will skip
this and hope we all get out stronger “.
Rogani was the first player in the major European
national championships to prove he was infected with the
“Covid-19” virus, according to what Juventus
announced last Wednesday.
“The result of the tests (which Rogani has undergone) is
positive. The club will now perform all required isolation
according to the laws, including with regard to the
people who were in contact with him,” the Italian club
who won the Italian championship in the last eight
seasons said in a statement.
It is the second time that Rogani has addressed Juventus
fans since he confirmed his infection with the virus, as
he reassured them hours later of this with a post on his
Instagram account that he confirmed was fine, calling on
everyone to respect the measures imposed to limit the
spread of the virus.
