Cristiano Ronaldo could be in line to make his return to Juventus this weekend, after testing negative for coronavirus.
The 35-year-old has isolated himself since testing positive for the Covid-19 virus on Oct. 13 while on international duty.
Since then, he has missed four games with the Italian giants, and two of them in the Champions League.
After scoring three goals in his first two league games this season, Ronaldo was eagerly awaiting a reunion with his old rivals Barcelona.

Juventus drew against Barcelona, but the former Real Madrid star was forced to miss the first tie, with Lionel Messi’s team winning 2-0 in Turin.
However, a negative result now means he should be available for the second leg in December and could even get into Andrea Pirlo’s XI for this weekend’s clash with Spezia.
In the last week, Ronaldo took to social networks to show his anger at the testing process, where despite not presenting symptoms, he has been forced to quarantine.
On Wednesday, he posted: “I feel good and healthy!”
“PCR IS BULL ****”

The forward’s sister, Katia Aveiro, reacted a bit angrier to Ronaldo’s absence due to Covid-19 in a spiel on her own Instagram page last week.
“If Cristiano Ronaldo has to wake up the world, I have to say that he really is a prophet of God. Thank you,” he said.
“I think thousands of people believed in the pandemic, in the tests and in the measures that were taken, like me.
“The biggest fraud I have seen since I was born. Today I read a phrase that I get up to applaud, namely: ‘Enough of the puppet world’.
“Please, someone, open your eyes.”
