Ronaldinho has reportedly been tested for coronavirus as the disease threatens to derail his hopes of an early end to his Paraguayan jail nightmare.
Brazilian newspaper Estadao said the former footballer and his brother Roberto had their temperatures taken in their cell as part of checks to see whether any inmates were showing the tell-tale symptoms of the killer virus.
News came as the pandemic led to Paraguayan justice officials telling their defence lawyers two of their appeals could not be dealt with for another fortnight because of government restrictions linked to attempts to control the spread of the coronavirus.
