ROME - Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi will conclude their self-isolation as Juventus have confirmed the pair were free from the COVID-19 on Wednesday after the second swab test.

Reports have suggested Paulo Dybala was also close to full recovery, but Juventus have not confirmed the news yet

Rugani became the first player in Serie A being found with the illness last month and was then followed by his teammates Matuidi and Paulo Dybala.
