Portugal and Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for the global virus but is ‘doing well, without symptoms, and in isolation’, as per a statement from the Portuguese Football Federation (PFF).
This, of course, means that Ronaldo is set to miss Portugal’s Nations League match against Sweden on Wednesday, October 14.
News in that @Cristiano has tested positive for Coronavirus. I’m sure he’ll see it off as comfortably as he does defenders. 🤞🏻
