Ronaldo Set To Miss Much Anticipated UEFA Champions League Clash With Barcelona

Juventus striker, Cristiano Ronaldo has been ruled out of today’s Champions League match against Barcelona after testing positive for coronavirus for the third time.

The Portuguese international, 35, has been self-isolating since he tested positive while on international duty with Portugal on October 13. He returned another positive result last week, and was made to take another test ahead of Juventus’ clash against Barcelona.

According to Sky Italy, Ronaldo failed to test negative 24 hours ahead of kick-off, as required by UEFA in order to play, meaning his potential reunion with Lionel Messi will not happen.
