A look at what’s happening in the main games in Nations League on Wednesday: PORTUGAL VS. SWEDEN Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo after the star forward tested positive for the coronavirus. He was feeling well but was immediately dropped from the squad and put in isolation. The rest of the team tested negative ahead of the match in Lisbon. The announcement of Ronaldo’s positive result came two days after he played in the 0-0 draw at France. Defending champion Portugal is tied with France at the top of Group 3 with seven points from three matches. ITALY VS. NETHERLANDS Italy enters on an 18-match unbeaten run and is one point clear atop Group 1 following a 0-0 draw in Poland on Saturday. The Netherlands has scored just one goal in three matches but is in second place, one point behind Italy and level on points with Poland. Italy has won three and drawn three in its six meetings with the Netherlands since the Oranje beat the Azzurri 3-0 in the opening round of the 2008 European Championship.
