Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks likely to miss the Milan derby this month after his club AC Milan announced on Thursday that the veteran Swede had again tested positive for coronavirus.
Ibrahimovic, who went into quarantine two weeks ago when he first tested positive, must test negative twice before he can return to the Milan squad, whose next game is the derby against Inter at the San Siro on 17 October.
Brazilian defender Leo Duarte, whose last test was also negative, is also continuing his quarantine. The rest of the players are all negative, the club said.
Ibrahimovic first tested positive on 24 September, prompting him to fire off a feisty tweet: “The Covid had the courage to challenge me. Bad idea.”
The 39-year-old has since posted on social networks a video of him training at home.
In spite of his absence, Milan have made a decent start to the season, having climbed to second in Serie A after winning all three of their games and reaching the group stages of the Europa League.
Ibrahimovic extended his contract with Milan by one year after a six-month stint last season. (AFP)
