Ronaldo Back In Training For Juventus

By Daily Sports on September 27, 2019

Maurizio Sarri has been handed a boost ahead of Juventus’ Serie A fixture at home to SPAL on Saturday, with Cristiano Ronaldo having returned to training.

Ronaldo had missed Juve’s last game, a laboured 2-1 win away at newly promoted Brescia, with a slight abductor injury. He had previously played every minute for his club in the league and Champions League.

While Ronaldo hadn’t looked especially in discomfort during The Best FIFA Football Awards on Monday, Sarri had been keen to stress that he had no desire to risk his star man unnecessarily.

Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala played up front in Ronaldo’s absence at Brescia but Juve were eventually indebted to midfielder Miralem Pjanic, whose penalty spared their blushes as they were made to work for the win.

Defending champions Juventus start the Italian weekend in second, after Inter continued their perfect start to the season with a scrappy win over Lazio on Wednesday night.

With two points to make up, Sarri has something of a headache at full-back with Mattia de Sciglio and summer signing Danilo both expected to be out until the next international break in mid-October. The Brazilian Alex Sandro has returned to his home country on compassionate leave after the death of his father.

Juventus fans will doubtless be confident going into the game with SPAL, with the minnows sitting second bottom in Serie A with just three points from their five games.

However, they will also remember a shock defeat in their away fixture there last season, as Moise Kean’s first-half goal was cancelled out in a memorable second-half comeback. (Goal)
