Serie A: Cristiano Ronaldo set to resume training from Tuesday

After spending almost two months in his homeland Madeira, Juventus star striker Ronaldo returned to Italy on May 5 and was obliged to spend 14 days in quarantine.

Italy: Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to training on Tuesday after completing his two-week quarantine period.

After spending almost two months in his homeland Madeira, Ronaldo returned to Italy on May 5 and was obliged to spend 14 days in quarantine.

As the 14-day period is set to complete on Monday, the 35-year-old will join his teammates who have already returned to training.

The club on May 5 announced that some of the players have started training on an individual basis.

"After a day of tests and exams carried out yesterday at J Medical, some of the Juventus players started training at the Continassa Juventus Training Center, where they officially began their recovery to regain competitive form," the club had said in a statement.

Italy's Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has given Serie A clubs permission to start team training from Monday. The announcement was made by Conte during a press conference and this comes as a big boost for the restart plans of Italy's football competition.

However, the Prime Minister made it clear that the league could only start if safety guarantees are met.

Also, Serie A clubs have selected June 13 as the date for restarting the suspended season.

Meanwhile, Serie A club Parma have announced that two of their players have been sent to quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus.

As part of a round of testing that included "about 60 people", the Serie A club announced that two players saw their tests come back positive, though they were in "excellent" condition and did not have symptoms.

"At the end of the exams, all the members of the team tested negative for the two swabs for COVID-19 performed within 24 hours, except for two players who tested positive for the first swab and negative for the second," read a club statement.

"The athletes - both in excellent physical and asymptomatic conditions - were however placed in immediate isolation and the team will constantly monitor them," it added.
