Former Juventus centre-back Medhi Benatia has wished Blaise Matuidi speedy recovery after he tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday.
Matuidi becomes the second Juventus player to contract the virus after defender Daniele Rugani was diagnosed with the illness last Wednesday.
Covid-19 outbreak has left Italy in a lockdown while football activities in the country and other European countries have been suspended.
Benatia played with Matuidi at the Allianz Stadium before leaving for Qatar to join Al Duhail in January 2019.
The former Morocco captain described the French midfielder as a brother and a soldier with a word of prayer for him and his family.
