Cristiano Ronaldo‘s mum has been released from hospital after suffering a stroke.
Dolores Aveiro, 65, was told she could go home nearly two weeks after medics at Madeira’s Nelio Mendonca Hospital saved her life. The mum-of-four was transferred to a private hospital in the island capital at the start of the week.
Her current whereabouts has not yet been confirmed, although she is thought to be resting at the seven-storey home where her footballer son is holed up with his family. Local reports say she cannot have any contact with Cristiano, 35, or her grandchildren because of the coronavirus crisis.
The Juventus star is self-isolating on the top floors of his home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean after it transpired a team-mate had tested positive for coronavirus following his flight back to Madeira to see his mum around the time Italian football was suspended.
Dolores was rushed to hospital on March 3 after suffering an ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain. She said in an emotional Instagram post two days after her health scare she was “recovering well” and revealed she had suffered no lasting effects.
Cristiano visited her while she was at Nelio Mendonca Hospital but wore protective clothing including a face mask and gloves. His sister Elma has confirmed Dolores is out of hospital but he has yet to make any comment.
Cristiano’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez was pictured shopping in Funchal on Tuesday but the former Manchester United star is not thought to have left his home since it emerged Juventus team-mate Daniele Rugani had tested positive for coronavirus.
