Cristiano Ronaldo could sit out Juventus’ trip to Atalanta

Published on: 23 December 2018

Juventus could travel to Bergamo to take on Atalanta without Cristiano Ronaldo featuring in their starting XI as the Portuguese is likely to be rested for the first time this season.

Ronaldo has been ever-present in Serie A for the Old Lady, starting each of their matches and only receiving some respite in the 3-0 win over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at the beginning of December.

“There’s a possibility that he won’t play but will still be available,” said Allegri after Juventus beat Roma 1-0 on Saturday evening.

Juve take on La Dea and Sampdoria over the Christmas period ahead of the winter break and should he not be left out on Wednesday, it is likely that he will sit out the meeting with the Blucerchiati next weekend.
