Cristiano Ronaldo will not help the Turin Juventus team in the weekend Serie A match.
The "Old Lady" will face Atalanta on Saturday evening. A victory is crucial for the Turin side - Milan's Inter club is just a few points behind.
Before the international break, C. Ronaldo had some knee problems and was substituted in the last two matches. However, with Portugal he played both games and scored four goals, three of which were against the Lithuanian national team.
Maurizio Sarri confirmed that the Portuguese still has not fully recovered from the injury.
"He himself said on Tuesday that he doesn't feel well," said Juventus' coach. "We want him fully prepared for the Champions League, so he won't play this weekend."
Adrien Rabiot and Alex Sandro also did not make it on the squad list with C. Ronaldo.
