The player will miss the next clash after playing every minute so far.
Cristiano Ronaldo will miss Juventus’ Serie A match at Brescia on Tuesday after damaging his adductor in the week.
Juvenuts scraped past Verona this past weekend with a 2-1 win, and that continued an underwhelming start to the campaign as they haven’t yet entirely convinced.
The reigning Serie A champions sit two points behind rivals Inter at this early stage given Antonio Conte’s side boast a 100% record after four games, and so there is no room for slip-ups for the Turin giants if they wish to avoid seeing that gap extend further.
As noted in his comments below, Sarri has raised concern over Ronaldo’s availability in midweek, and so it remains to be seen if he takes a potential risk and includes him or decides to rest him with the fixtures coming thick and fast in the coming weeks.
“Ronaldo had a little thigh strain, I have to see if he is available,” Sarri told the media, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. “It’s normal after three games in a week. Brescia are a dangerous team. The game is undoubtedly a tricky one and Mario Balotelli’s debut can give them an extra boost,” the 60-year-old explained, touching on one notable arrival at Stadio Mario Rigamonti.
Ronaldo’s absence was confirmed by the Old Lady on their official Twitter account, as Juventus face Brescia on Tuesday night before hosting SPAL at the weekend, and that’s quickly followed by a return to Champions League duty against Bayer Leverkusen next Tuesday before a vital showdown with Inter on October 6.
