A statement released by the Portuguese football federation on Tuesday confirmed the 35-year-old is asymptomatic and feeling fine, but he must now undergo a period of self-isolation.

No other Portugal player apart from Ronaldo has tested positive for the virus, which is good news for the Portugal camp.

Cristiano Ronaldo played against France in a 0-0 draw on Sunday. But sadly he will now miss Portugal’s UEFA Nations League clash with Sweden on Wednesday. There is also a doubt for Juventus’ upcoming fixtures against Crotone and Dynamo Kyiv.

He will now self-isolate to recover from the COVID-19 virus and prepare for his return to football in the upcoming days.
