Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message of support to Juventus team-mate Daniele Rugani and to the ‘amazing’ health professionals dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.
25-year-old centre-back Rugani tested positive for the virus shortly after it was announced that Serie A was to be put on hold April at the earliest and has been in self-isolation, although his presence on the bench in a 2-0 win over Inter has seen the Nerazzurri forced to take preventative measures.
Following the postponement of Juventus’ Champions League last 16 second-leg tie against Lyon, Ronaldo – who has not contracted the virus – is remaining in isolation in his native Portugal, but made sure to reach out through social media to voice his support for his colleague, as well as health professionals around the world.
