Roma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante has said he is in quarantine without symptoms after testing positive for the coronavirus.

"Unfortunately I tested positive," he wrote on Instagram Wednesday. "I am now in isolation and hope to be well soon and start the [pre-season] preparation with my team-mates as soon as possible."

Mirante, 37, tallied five appearances as deputy to Pau Lopez in his second season with the Rome Giallorossi in 2019/20. The Romans finished fifth in Serie A and will play in the Europa League next season.

On Tuesday Roma reported two asymptomatic positives from routine testing of their under-19 team.
