But he and Fiorentina team-mate German Pezzella as well as physio Stefano Dainelli have now contracted the deadly bug.
The Serie A club’s official Twitter account announced the news on Saturday morning.
A post read: “COVID-19: MORE POSITIVE TESTS ACF Fiorentina announces that footballers Patrick Cutrone and German Pezzella and physiotherapist Stefano Dainelli also underwent tests, as they were showing some symptoms.
“All 3 resulted positive and are in good health at their homes in Florence.”
Yesterday, Fiorentina also announced that their Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic was also at home after being tested positive – despite not showing any symptoms.
Juventus defender Daniele Rugani was the first player from Italy’s top flight to contract the disease.
That led to 121 Juve players and staff self-isolating to try and limit the spread.
Former Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini was the second with the Sampdoria ace confirming the news on his Instagram account.
