Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly tests positive for coronavirus again and might miss Juventus clash with Barcelona.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus for a second time.
.
The Juventus star was first diagnosed with the illness while on Portugal duty earlier in the month. But nine days after his initial positive test, the football is still infectious.
.
According to Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manha, Ronaldo's latest results came back positive on Thursday, October 22.
.
The publication claims Ronaldo's test gave a very low viral load despite returning positive, with Juventus still hopeful he could recover in time to feature in the Champions League game.
.
The club will likely ask UEFA for permission to test Ronaldo 48 hours before the game on October 28.
.
It will be up to the European football body to decide whether or not to allow such a request to go ahead because a player must test negative at least one week before a match to be considered for selection, according to UEFA protocol.
