Cristiano Ronaldo will not feature in Juventus’ Serie A clash with Brescia on Sunday, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner apparently rested for the home encounter.
There has been no report of any physical problem for the 35-year-old, who has scored in his last 11 fixtures in all competitions, including a club record 11 successive Serie A matches.
He has been chasing the all-time mark of Fiorentina hitman Gabriel Batistuta, who scored in 11 consecutive matches at the beginning of the 1994-95 campaign, which extends to 13 if the end of the previous season is included.
