Inter defender Young set to miss Milan derby after he tests positive for Covid-19

Inter defender Ashley Young has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating.

The Serie A side announced the news on Sunday via a brief statement on their official website.

The news comes during the international break, during which the 39-time capped England international had remained with the Italian outfit.

The club’s statement reads: “Inter announces that Ashley Young tested positive for Covid-19 following the test carried out yesterday [Saturday] in Appiano Gentile. The English footballer is already in quarantine at his home.”

Young is therefore set to miss Inter's clash with city rivals AC Milan.
