Italy – Poland

The Italian Football Federaion (FIGC) announces that Roberto Gagliardini COVID-19 test results were inconclusive.   The tests were made on Friday 13 November 2020.  Italy will be playing the UEFA Nations League Group Stage Group A – Matchday 5 on Sunday 15 November 2020 against Poland at the Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, Italy at 20:45.

As reported by the FIGC, Gagliardini already had previously tested positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of October following swab tests with his club (Inter); 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.
