Italy is the worst-affected country in the world with more than 11,500 people dying after contracting Covid-19.

Now the nation's dominant football club - whose stars Daniele Rugani, Blaise Matuidi and Paulo Dybala have all tested positive - may be pushed into taking drastic action to survive.

According to Italian newspaper Il Messagero, the Old Lady could be forced into three choices with Ronaldo.

Reports earlier stated the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, 35, may have to leave the Turin team as part of the club's desperate attempts to balance the books.

Now further details suggest Juventus may have a nigh-on impossible decision to make.
