Cristiano Ronaldo will have tested positive for infection with the new coronavirus for the third time. The news is being spread by several Italian media, including Sky Sport and Sport Mediaset.
This means that the Portuguese international will not be able to join Andrea Pirlo’s squad for the meeting with Barcelona, counting for the second round of the group stage of the Champions League.
This will be, for the rest, the fourth consecutive game in which the striker formed at Sporting misses the options of Vecchia Signora, in the image of what happened against Crotone (1-1), Dynamo Kiev (2-0) and Hellas Verona (1 -1).
Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains asymptomatic and in prophylactic isolation, thus sees the potential return to the pitch postponed until next Sunday, in his visit to Spezia, for the sixth round of Serie A.
