Former Brazil forward Ronaldinho said on Sunday he had contracted coronavirus (COVID-19) but had no symptoms.
The 40-year-old ex-Barcelona and AC Milan playmaker will remain in isolation in a Belo Horizonte hotel.
“Hi friends, family, fans, I took a Covid-19 test and the result was positive, I’m doing well, I’m asymptomatic for now,” he said in a video posted on Instagram.
In August, Ronaldinho returned to Brazil following more than five months in detention in Paraguay over a fake passport scandal.
The two-time Fifa World Player of the Year and his brother had both been held for a month in jail and another four months under house arrest in a hotel in Asuncion.
Brazil has registered more than 156 000 deaths from coronavirus, behind only the US in terms of fatalities.
