Juventus to start training in larger groups after first team squad all test negative for coronavirus

The Juventus squad has been given a clean bill of health as preparations for the return of Serie A continue in Turin.

Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the last Juve players to re-join individual drills, having undergone a period of quarantine following his return from Madeira, where he saw out the last two months of lockdown.

However the Portugal star completed the isolation stint on Monday and the following day reported back to the club, where his colleagues had already resumed duties while respecting social distancing measures.
