Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku revealed a strange and shocking incident that 23 of the 25 players in the team were sick, coughing and fever in January, but they were not tested for the Corona virus.
He added, in a live broadcast on his official account on Instagram, that his colleague, Slovak defender Milan Skriniar, almost fainted and could not complete the match, and was replaced after playing only 25 minutes against Cagliari on January 26 last.
It is noteworthy that the official announcement of the Corona virus in Italy, which is one of the countries most affected in the world by this epidemic, with the number of deaths reaching more than 23.6 thousand and injuries to more than 179 thousand, was on February 21 last.
"Nearly everyone was sick and coughing and had a fever, and when I was doing heat training I felt the weather was hotter than usual, knowing that I hadn't had a fever for years," Lukaku added.
He concluded, "After the match ended I was linked to a work dinner, but I apologized to the guests and went straight to my house and slept ... At that moment we did not conduct Corona virus tests, and for this we did not know if we had it."
