JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo was expelled from the stronghold of the Portugal national team after testing positive for COVID-19.
A statement issued by the Portuguese football federation on Tuesday confirmed that the 35-year-old was asymptomatic and felt well.
Currently, the Juventus superstar must undergo self-isolation.
This means Ronaldo will miss the UEFA Nations League tie against Sweden on Wednesday and is also in doubt for Juventus' upcoming matches against Crotone and Dynamo Kyiv.
So far, the Serie A club has not made a statement but the Portuguese federation confirmed that the entire Portugal squad returned a negative COVID-19 test result on Tuesday.
However Ronaldo is the only player to have missed the Sweden match.
