The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed the news in an official statement on Tuesday, which reads:
Ronaldo will sit out Portugal’s Nation’s League meeting with Sweden on Wednesday night as he begins a 10-day period of self-isolation.
Following the positive test, the remaining players underwent new tests on Tuesday morning, and all produced a negative result and are available to Fernando Santos for training this afternoon.
The 35-year-old is also set to miss Juventus’ trip to Crotone in Serie A this weekend, as well as their Champions League group stage opener against Dynamo Kiev on October 20.,
He played the full 90 minutes of Portugal’s 0-0 with 2018 World Cup winners France on Sunday, winning his 167th international cap in the process.
That result ensured that Fernando Santos’ side stayed top of League A, Group 3 on goal difference ahead of Les Bleus, with Croatia four points further back in third.
