Cristiano Ronaldo, who tested positive for Covid-19, left the Portugal team's base camp on the outskirts of Lisbon on Wednesday to board a medical plane that was to take him back to Turin, in the north of the country. Italy, several Portuguese media reported.
The fivefold Golden Ball boarded a private jet which, according to images broadcast by CMTV television, took off in the afternoon from Tires aerodrome, located near Lisbon.
Back against Messi's Barça?
The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced on Tuesday that the Selecçao captain had tested positive for coronavirus the day after Portugal's draw against France on Sunday in Saint-Denis (0-0), and that he would be forfeited for the match against Sweden on Wednesday in Lisbon, also in the League of Nations.
CR7 was "asymptomatic" and had been placed in isolation since the first positive test in the selection training center in Oeiras, on the outskirts of Lisbon.
Already forfeited for the meetings against Crotone and Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, he will have to wait to find out if he can be there for the reunion with the FC Barcelona of Lionel Messi.
The striker will have to provide a negative test one week before the match, on October 21.
