Football Italia reports that the 35-year-old who had been isolating in a hotel in his home country took a private jet back to Turin and landed this afternoon.

He was then transported through an ambulance to his home so he could continue the quarantine period. Juve confirmed in a statement that:

“Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Italy with a medical flight authorised by the competent health authorities at the request of the player and will continue his fiduciary isolation at his home."

Juventus teammate Weston McKennie also contracted the deadly virus, sending the entire squad into self-isolation at the J-Hotel.

Italy has been hit with the second wave of the virus with over 7,332 new positive cases registered in the last 24 hours and 43 people died.

This means that no fewer than 92,445 people in Italy are currently infected with the deadly virus.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo joined the growing list of football stars who have tested positive for the deadly coronavirus.

The 35-year-old will not be a part of Portugal's UEFA Nations League clash against Sweden in Portugal on Wednesday, October 14.

However, CR7's sister Katia Aveiro has labelled the outcome of the test as fraud, suggesting foul-play in the process. She further expressed disappointment at the way COVID-19 has been handled.
