AC Milan have been dealt yet another huge blow ahead of the derby next weekend as Matteo Gabbia has apparently tested positive for Coronavirus.

For Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Leo Duarte tested positive for Coronavirus two weeks ago and are still positive, while for Inter defensive duo Alessandro Bastoni and Milan Skriniar are now positive, as are midfield pair Roberto Gagliardini and Radja Nainggolan.

According to il Corriere dello Sport, Milan have been dealt yet another blow as Gabbia has tested positive for Coronavirus while away with on international duty with Italy’s U21 side.
