Cristiano Ronaldo has fully recovered from coronavirus, 19 days after initially testing positive for the disease. The Juventus forward, 35, initially returned a positive test while on international duty with Portugal earlier this month. Juventus were without the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for their previous four matches, including Wednesday's Champions League Group G defeat to Barcelona, winning just once in that time.

There was a big build-up surrounding Ronaldo's potential reunion with Barcelona's Lionel Messi, but the forward's prolonged bout of coronavirus delayed two of football's best-ever players meeting again.
