Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tested positive for COVID-19 and will spend the next period in quarantine.
AC Milan have officially announced that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is positive for COVID-19.
The announcement comes just a few hours before the Rossoneri’s Europa League third qualifying round encounter with Norwegian side FK Bodo/Glimt.
“AC Milan announce that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tested positive for the swab performed for today’s match, Milan-Bodø/Glimt.
“We have informed the competent health authorities and the player was promptly placed in home quarantine.
“All the other swabs carried out on the team group were negative,” read the statement.
Ibrahimovic will miss the game this evening and is expected to spend the next period in quarantine.
The Rossoneri will visit Crotone and play host to Spezia in the next two Serie A rounds, before the 226th Derby della Madonnina against Inter, scheduled for October 17.
Their boss, Stefano Pioli would certainly hope to have Zlatan ready for the clash with the local rivals.
