Juventus delivered a detailed documentation last week that proved Ronaldo was feeling fine and was clinically Covid-free, although he was still positive.
The 35-year-old posted several social media pictures and videos over the last few days to show that he is in shape as he trained alone in his private gym at home.
The Old Lady played the last three games without their star striker and are now waiting to know the outcome of hist latest swab test.
“We must wait for the outcome [from Ronaldo’s test], I think the result will come tonight,” Pirlo said at a press conference.
“First we wait for the outcome and then we'll see. For now, everything is still on the high seas and then we’ll see.”
