Juventus superstar Ronaldo under investigation for breaching coronavirus protocols, says Italian sports minister

Vincenzo Spadafora has reasserted his belief that the Portuguese broke Covid-19 rules when returning to Turin after the international break

Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is under investigation for breaching coronavirus protocols following his positive test earlier this month, according to Italy’s sports minister.

Ronaldo was laid low with Covid-19 midway through the international break, having featured in a 0-0 friendly draw with Spain and the UEFA Nations League fixture against France which ended in the same scoreline.

The 35-year-old was forced to miss Portugal’s 3-0 win over Sweden on October 14 after his positive diagnosis, and went straight into self-isolation.
