The 35-year-old striker arrived at the Continassa training center at the wheel of his car with tinted windows.
Before taking part in their first collective training, the fivefold Ballon d'Or must undergo a medical examination and physical tests.
The "Old Lady" players resumed individual training on May 4, the day Ronaldo returned to Italy. "CR7" remained in Portugal during the confinement.
Upon his arrival, the Portuguese star, the first foreign Bianconeri player to return to Continassa, had been placed in quarantine for two weeks in his Turin villa.

This seems to condemn the possibility of seeing the championship resume on June 13 as the League wanted.
