AS Roma and Italy midfielder Nicolò
Zaniolo has tested positive for COVID-19, the up-and-coming star
said on his Instagram account Monday.
Attacking midfielder Zaniolo, 21, who is recovering from an ACL
tear, said he was asymptomatic.
"I'm well, I have no symptoms and obviously I immediately went
into quarantine," he said.
"I hope I get back as soon as possible, in the meantime I'm
rooting for my teammates".
Roma, third in Serie A, were thumped 3-0 by Lazio in the Rome
derby on Friday night.
Zaniolo has played 53 times for the Giallorossi and scored 10
goals for the Italian capital team.
He has seven Italy caps and two goals for his country.
Zaniolo is regarded as one of the most promising Italian
footballers of his generation.
Roma hope he could turn into another Francesco Totti.
