Brazil and Barcelona legend, Ronaldinho, has tested positive for coronavirus.
The 40-year-old World Cup and Ballon d’Or winner shared an Instagram video story to reveal his diagnosis.
Ronaldinho was planning to attend an event at Belo Horizonte’s Minerao stadium but told his followers he is asymptomatic, as such, he is now self-isolating in a hotel in Belo Horizonte.
He said: “I have been in [Belo Horizonte] since [Saturday], I came to participate in the event … I tested positive for COVID.
“I am well, asymptomatic, but I will not attend. We will be together soon, big hug.”
Earlier this year, Ronaldinho was jailed alongside his brother in Paraguay after they entered the country with fake passports.
Ronaldinho and his brother were moved to house arrest in a hotel in Paraguay in April after serving 32 days in prison and were released in late August after they reached a plea deal which included fines of $90,000 and $110,000, respectively.
