Will Ronaldo be rested by under-fire Juventus boss Sarri?

Maurizio Sarri was giving little away when asked if he was planning to rest Cristiano Ronaldo before the club's Champions League tie against Lyon later this month.

Ronaldo has been in spectacular form in 2020 and has scored 11 goals in his last seven matches across all competitions, while he is also on a Juve record run after netting in 10 consecutive Serie A games.

The Portugal international's fitness was brought up by reporters ahead of Thursday's Coppa Italia semi-final first leg away to Milan, but Sarri insisted the forward was feeling strong a fortnight before their continental tie against Lyon begins.
