Ronaldo faces Champions League fitness fight as Juve provide update

Cristiano Ronaldo limped off with a muscle problem against Serbia and has undergone further tests on the injury. Juventus have confirmed that the 34-year-old was withdrawn with a minor thigh problem to his right leg. However, the Turin giants will most likely be with Ronaldo for their Champions League quarter-final clash with Roma. A statement from Juve on Tuesday said: “Cristiano Ronaldo underwent tests in Portugal that revealed a minor injury to his right thigh flexors. "He will be monitored and subjected to further tests to establish when he can return to competitive action." Ronaldo himself insisted the injury was nothing to worry about immediately after the game, predicting he'd be back within "a week or two". "I'm not worried about this injury and I'm not afraid, I know my body well. I think I'll be fine in a week or two," Ronaldo told journalists after the game.
