“I could hardly breathe!” Juventus’ Dybala speaks on coronavirus battle

Juventus striker Paulo Dybala says he feels “much better” now and is ready to restart a training regime after been diagnosed of coronavirus.

The Argentina attacker announced last week that he and his girlfriend Oriana Sabatini had both tested positive for the coronavirus.




Although he said both felt in “perfect condition” at that time, however he has suffered stronger symptoms which prevented him from exercising but says he is now on the mend.

In a video chat posted on the club’s Twitter account, he said: “I feel good, much better in fact, after having had some strong symptoms for a couple of days.




“Today I feel much better, without any symptoms and I can move much better, so I will try to train again.

“After having attempted to in the days where the symptoms were strong, I felt uncomfortable very quickly and I couldn’t get any air so I couldn’t do anything.

“After about five minutes I felt really tired and my body felt heavy, my muscles hurt and I had to stop.

“But luckily both me and my girlfriend feel much better now.”




Dybala was the third Juventus player to test positive for the virus, after Daniele Rugani and midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
