The remainder of Fernando Santos' Portugal squad have tested negative for Covid-19 and are available for selection.

Portugal played out a 0-0 draw with France in Paris on Sunday and are top of the group, level on points with the world champions.

As a result of his period of quarantine, CR7 is also set to miss Juventus' Serie A fixture at Crotone on Oct 17 and his side's opening Champions League group game against Dynamo Kiev on Oct 20. The Italian champions then face Verona in the league on Oct 25 and F.C. Barcelona in their second European group game on Oct 28.
