Belgian Romelu Lukaku, Inter Milan striker, on his account on the social network "Instagram", told a suspicious story about the appearance of symptoms of cough and fever on 23 out of 25 players from his club last January at a time when Italy had announced the first official case infected with Corona in Last February 21.
In the details, Lukaku said: "We took a week off in December, then went back to training, and I swear that 23 out of 25 players were sick ... I'm not kidding, we played against Cagliari and after 25 minutes, one of our defenders was forced to leave the stadium, He could not go on and passed out. "
It was Inter Milan defender Milan Scriener, who sustained the injury against Cagliari, 17 minutes into the match.
"Everyone was coughing and fever," Lukaku said. "When I was heating up, I felt the weather was hotter than usual ... I had not had a fever for years."
He continued: "After the match there was a planned dinner with some of the guests, but I thanked them and went to bed directly ... In those days we had never performed Corona virus tests, so we never knew."
"We have 7 players who all live on the same street. The difference with England is enormous ... we go out to dinner almost every 4 months in England, while here in Italy we go out every 4 weeks," Lukaku concluded.
