‘I struggled to breathe:’ Dybala reveals coronavirus nightmare
Juventus star Paulo Dybala revealed Friday how he “struggled to breathe” after contracting coronavirus which has killed over 9,000 people in Italy.
The Argentine international announced last Saturday he was one of three Juventus players to catch the virus along with Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi, who both had no symptoms.
“I feel better now after some strong symptoms,” the 26-year-old Dybala told JTV channel.
“A couple of days ago I was not well, I felt heavy and after five minutes of movement, I had to stop because I was struggling to breathe.
“Now I can move and walk to start trying to train because when I tried in the past few days I started to shake too much.
“I gasped for air and as a result, I couldn’t do anything, after five minutes I was already very tired, I felt the body heavy and my muscles hurt.
“Now I’m fine. My fiancée Oriana (Sabatini) has also overcome the symptoms.”
Dybala has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season, including in league leader’s Juventus’s last game against Inter Milan before Serie A and all sport in Italy was suspended.
