Urgent .. Cristiano Ronaldo beats Corona
Juventus, the Italian football club, confirmed that the result of the new Corona virus test, which its Portuguese goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo underwent on Friday, was negative.
"Ronaldo took a new swab for (Covid-19) and the result was negative," the club said in a statement.
"Therefore, the player recovered after 19 days and is no longer subject to quarantine at home," he added.
Ronaldo, 35, was infected with the virus while he was with his country in preparation for the European Nations League matches, during the international break.
He got his first positive result on October 13, returning to Turin, where he quarantined himself at his home.
The virus infection led to the absence of Ronald from the team in four matches, the last of which was on Wednesday against former rivals Barcelona in the Champions League and ended with the Catalan team winning 2-0.
Ronaldo, the historic top scorer in the Champions League with 130 goals, was angry at his absence from the match against Barcelona, after it was reported that the test results were positive for the 18th time, which deprived him of facing Argentine rival Lionel Messi.
Juventus, the Italian champions in the previous nine seasons, are fifth in the standings of the current championship with nine points, four points behind leaders Milan, and they come Sunday to Spezia, the newcomer to "Serie A".
All Italian league matches will be played behind closed doors with the escalation of the number of people infected with the pandemic, which reached 31 thousand people on Friday, a record in 24 hours.
The return of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will be a major boost for Andrea Pirlo's side, who are struggling both locally and in Europe.
Ronaldo did not stop training, as he subsequently posted videos on his social media accounts while he was training at his home.
