Alessandro Favalli has revealed coronavirus left his ‘eyes burning’.
The defender was the second player in Italy to test positive for Covid-19.
Favalli, 27, said: “I woke up on March 2 feeling uncomfortable.
“I had a fever, a headache and my eyes were burning. I already had symptoms during the night, shivering for cold.
“I got suspicious. I already had ’flu in January.
“I rang my family and they all had the same symptoms.
“We’d had a family dinner a few days before.
“I knew straight away what we all had.
“I was never really scared for myself, I never felt that bad.
“I was more worried about some of my relatives, who were hit harder than me, maybe due to their different age and fitness level.”
