(CNN) – Juventus forward Paulo Dybala tested positive for coronavirus for the fourth time in six weeks, a source close to the player told CNN.
“He is fine now, he has no symptoms and he is even training. Now he is waiting for the results of the last two swabs, “the source told CNN.
“Dybala has to respect the health system and the time it takes. He is a soccer player and does not receive preferential treatment, “added the source.

It is unclear, however, when the player performed each of the tests.
CNN has contacted the Juventus club for comment.
The Argentine striker announced on Instagram on March 21, after his first test, that he and his girlfriend Oriana Sabatini had contracted covid-19.
On Friday, March 27, Dybala spoke on the Juventus official YouTube account about his experience of contracting the disease: “I developed strong symptoms, but today I feel much better.”
“Now I can move better, walk and try to train. He could barely breathe, he couldn’t do anything after five minutes. My muscles ached. Fortunately, Oriana and I are better now. “
Dybala was one of the three Juventus stars to catch the virus, along with Italian defender Daniele Rugani and French midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
The club announced earlier this month that both Rugani and Matuidi had fully recovered after their tests came back negative.
