Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Italy to finish isolating after testing positive for coronavirus

The Juventus forward travelled on a “medical flight” from Lisbon to Turin on Wednesday to finish his isolation period.

“Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Italy with a medical flight authorised by the competent health authorities at the request of the player and will continue his fiduciary isolation at his home,” Juventus said in a statement.

The Portuguese daily Record had earlier showed images of the small jet-engine plane it said was used by Ronaldo. The white, blue and red aircraft had the word “ambulance” painted on its engines.
