Ronaldo left to ‘cool off’
Milan: Cristiano Ronaldo is “99 percent” certain to miss this weekend’s Serie A trip to Atalanta after his four-goal spree for Portugal in Euro 2020 qualifying, coach Maurizio Sarri confirmed today. Juventus visit fifth-placed Atalanta tomorrow before hosting Atletico Madrid in the Champions League next week. “We have developed a programme for him and now, the goal is the match of Tuesday against Atletico Madrid,” said Sarri adding: “for Atalanta, 99 percent he will not be available.” Ronaldo had been substituted in Juventus’s last two games with Sarri saying that the 34-year-old had a “little knee problem”. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was furious after being hauled off before the hour against AC Milan. “We talked on Tuesday, and at certain times you have to left players cool down. I’ve coached since the 90s and reactions to substitutions were the same even in amateurs,” Sarri said. AFP
