The 35-year-old, who tested positive for Covid-19 upon his return from the recent international break and again upon his return to Italy, is awaiting the result of a new test, which must be negative on Tuesday if he wants to face his ancient nemesis.

“We must wait for the result [of Ronaldo’s test]I think the result will come tonight, “said Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo at his press conference prior to Wednesday’s game against Barça.” Tonight we will have the final result. “

Juventus drew 1-1 against Crotone and Verona in the two Serie A matches that Ronaldo missed since the international break, but managed a 2-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv in the first match of the group stage of the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo is doubtful for Juventus' Champions League clash against Barcelona on Wednesday.

Ronaldo received permission from the Portuguese health authorities to return to Turin from Portugal aboard a private air ambulance on October 14, where he has since been under observation and in the custody of Italian health officials.

Following his positive test, the Portuguese Football Federation said Ronaldo was “fine, without symptoms and isolated”.

Juventus defender Danilo is confident that Juventus can defeat Barcelona, ​​even if Ronaldo is forced to miss.

“I feel good about the way we play, we often have the ball and therefore there is no problem,” he told reporters. “I don’t know about tomorrow, but I’m ready to do the best I can. We have to be quick and focused.

“We are on the right track. They are the best games to play. Any team would miss a player like Cristiano, but we have faith in all the players.”
