Maradona has been tested for coronavirus

ARGENTINE soccer legend Diego Maradona has been tested for COVID-19, his lawyer has revealed on Twitter.

The man who led Argentina to the World Cup in 1986 took the test after he came into close contact last Friday with Facundo Contin, a player who tested positive for the virus less than a day later.

The results of the former striker’s test are expected within 24 hours, his lawyer Matias Morla said. Morla shared a photo of a medical worker swabbing Maradona.

“In compliance with protocols and to put Diego and his family’s mind at rest, Maradona was tested at his home around midday,” Morla said.
