Gagliardini withdraws from squad and returns to Inter as a precautionary measure

During yesterday's checks ahead of Italy vs. Poland, Roberto Gagliardini’s test results were inconclusive. He already had previously tested positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of October following swab tests with his club; however, he then recovered from the virus and returned a negative result. Since the test results are not always certain in their detection of COVID-19 in cured persons, a second swab was taken this morning, the outcome of which is expected in the evening.

Taking into consideration the journey this morning to Reggio Emilia and the subsequent trip to Sarajevo on Tuesday, the player, although asymptomatic, will return to Milan as a precautionary measure.
