I’m fine, I reassure everyone. I’ve always been quite well, I haven’t had any serious symptoms. I consider myself lucky,” Rugani told Juventus TV.
The 25-year-old Italian international was diagnosed last Wednesday with the Turin club saying he was asymptomatic.
Since then a total of 11 Serie A players have being diagnosed with the illness which has killed more than 1,800 people in the Mediterranean country.
“There was a huge media explosion right away. A lot of people wrote to me and I thank them,” said Rugani, who is currently self-isolating in a room at the team’s J-Hotel, beside the Italian champions’ training centre
I hope it served to raise awareness, especially those who had not understood the seriousness of this problem.
“I’m going to get over it, we’re going to get by and I hope we’ll all come out even stronger.
“The quarantine is tough, even more so because you are alone, so I can’t wait to embrace all my loved ones.”
