Italian football club A.C. Milan's veteran striker, Zlatan Ibrahimović, has tested positive for Covid-19.
Quarantined at home
In an official statement from the club, it stated that Ibrahimović has tested positive following a second round of swab tests ahead of the team's match against Bodø/Glimt on Sep. 25 (Singapore time).
The club said that it has informed the relevant authorities.
Ibrahimović has been placed in quarantine at home.
All other team members and staff have tested negative, added A.C. Milan.
