Juventus, injury problem for Ronaldo: he will miss the match against Atalanta

Juventus must make do with no Cristiano Ronaldo when the bianconeri face Atalanta. The striker will be unavailable for the match with a flexor problem, which was announced by coach Andrea Pirlo in his pre match press conference: "The problem began Monday after the match. Ronaldo trained on the side but he wasn't able to push it the way he wants to." Juventus has decided to rest him for the match in Bergamo, hoping to avoid a more serious injury. Paulo Dybala will play in place of Ronaldo, the Portuguese's condition will be evaluated ahead of Wednesday's mid-week match, as Juventus is set to play Parma. "We will try to have him on Wednesday," said Pirlo.
