Portuguese superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for Coronavirus.

The news was announced by Portugal's national football association, with the squad currently in camp as part of their ongoing UEFA Nations League campaign.

Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes, managing only three shots in his side's scoreless draw against France at the weekend.

Following the game, the Juventus midfielder swapped jersies with France's Eduardo Camavinga, who snapchatted a picture of the jersey afterwards, saying "I won't be washing this!"
