Sky Sport Italia reports the Portuguese talisman, who tested positive for COVID-19 during international duty, has received a positive result from the swab carried out yesterday.

Juventus hope he will test negative 24 hours before the match against Barcelona, but in any case, his swab test at the end of the initial isolation period is scheduled for tomorrow, 10 days after he tested positive, and if tomorrow's test is negative, he can break the isolation.

The rest of the team, currently in a bubble, will also undergo the swab test tomorrow and if they test negative, the fiduciary isolation will end.
