(14 Oct 2020) Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Portuguese Football Federation said on Tuesday.
The federation said Ronaldo was doing well and had no symptoms. It did not say when he tested positive.
Ronaldo played in the 0-0 draw at France in the Nations League on Sunday, and also in the 0-0 draw against Spain in a friendly last week.
Ronaldo is in isolation and has been dropped from the country's Nations League match against Sweden on Wednesday in Lisbon.
On Monday, the Juventus forward posted a photo on Twitter showing him and the rest of the Portugal squad having a meal together.
The players were all close to each other at a table, with Ronaldo apparently taking the photo himself at the front end.
Along with the tweet, Ronaldo wrote, in Portuguese, "United on and off the field!"
The 35-year-old Ronaldo last month became only the second male football player to reach 100 goals for a national team, after former Iran striker Ali Daei.
The federation said Ronaldo's result prompted another round of tests for the rest of the Portugal squad.
It said everyone else in the team tested negative.
