It's believed to be the first footballer in Serie A to have been diagnosed and in a statement released on Wednesday evening.

Rugani, who was on the bench in their top of the table clash against Inter Milan that was played behind closed doors on Sunday, meaning his teammates, coaches and staff members will now be quarantined for 14 days.
That will most likely make it impossible for the Bianconeri to play its Champions League match against Lyon next week, and the news could lead to a quarantine for Inter's players and technical staff as well.
