ROME, Jan 6 — AC Milan have announced that Ante Rebic and Rade Krunic tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of today’s Serie A game against Juventus.
The two players, who featured in Sunday’s 2-0 league win away to Benevento, underwent molecular swab tests on Tuesday before the home clash with the Italian champions.
“The asymptomatic players remained in isolation at home where a second control swab was taken today. The health authorities were promptly informed,” a club statement read.
“All team members were subjected to a further test today with negative results.”
Serie A leaders AC Milan, who remain unbeaten this season, will also be without suspended midfielder Sandro Tonali and injured players Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ismael Bennacer, Alexis Saelemaekers and Matteo Gabbia.
Juventus wing-backs Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro also tested positive for Covid-19 before the game, where Andrea Pirlo’s side will look to reduce a 10-point gap to Milan. — Reuters
