Blaise Matuidi has become the second Juventus player to test positive for coronavirus.

The Italian champions confirmed on Tuesday that the French World Cup-winning midfielder has been in voluntary isolation since 11 March, describing him as "well and asymptomatic".

Juve centre-back Daniele Rugani was confirmed as having COVID-19 last week.

Matuidi has played 31 times in all competitions this season, including the 2-0 win over title rivals Inter Milan that was played behind closed doors.
