Ronaldo sent a message to his followers on social media saying, "Thank you for all the messages of support for my mother. Her condition is now stable and is recovering in the hospital. My family and I would like to thank the medical team who took care of her, and we all seek to have some privacy at the moment."
Ronaldo, the captain of the Portuguese national team, went to his country to visit his mother in the hospital, and doubts were raised at the beginning about the possibility of his participation in the Juventus match that was scheduled yesterday evening Wednesday against his guest Milan in the away leg of the Italian Cup semi-final, before announcing the postponement of the match indefinitely due to fears of increasing Coronavirus infection spread.
And press reports spoke of the Portuguese star's mother having suffered a stroke that required her to be hospitalized in Madeira - the hometown of Ronaldo - for treatment.
