Football

star Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for COVID-19.

It is said

that he is showing no symptoms, but he will have to self-isolate.

This positive

result also means that Ronaldo has been axed from Portugal’s squad that was

scheduled to play against Sweden on Wednesday.

The Portuguese

Football Federation, in a statement, explained that the Ronaldo is doing well.

“Cristiano

Ronaldo was released from the squad of the National Team after a positive test

for COVID-19, so he will not face Sweden,” the statement said.

“The

Portuguese international is doing well, without symptoms, and in isolation. Following

the positive case, the remaining players underwent new tests this Tuesday

morning, all with a negative result, and are available to Fernando Santos for

training this afternoon.”

That game

against Sweden would have been his third for the country in recent times, as

the Juventus footballer’s last two games for Portugal were a friendly match

against Spain and a game against France in the Nations League.
