Cristiano Ronaldo set to return after recovering from coronavirus but only as a substitute

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned a second negative coronavirus test but will not start Sunday’s game against Spezia, Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said on the eve of the match.

“The negative result of the second swab has also arrived, so today Cristiano Ronaldo will be called up to the team. He is fine and has been training individually this morning. I don’t think he will start from the beginning; we will see how it goes tomorrow."
