Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for COVID-19, Portugal's Soccer Federation said in a statement on its website on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Juventus striker will miss Wednesday's UEFA Nations League match against Sweden but is "well, has no symptoms and is in isolation," the federation said.

The federation added that the rest of the Portugal squad had undergone tests as a result of Ronaldo's condition and had all tested negative and would be available for the Sweden
match.
