El Fenomeno was warming up before last night’s Champions League clash with Benfica, when he felt a sharp pain in his calf.
He was subsequently an unused substitute during the 1-1 draw that clinched Milan’s qualification to the knockout stages of the competition.
Rossoneri boss Carlo Ancelotti declared that the problem was “nothing serious”, however with just two days to go before Saturday’s match, things are not looking good for Ronaldo.
“How am I? I am well but whether I will be there on Saturday I do not know,” said the injury-plagued star.
“First we will do some examinations then we will say something.”
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has confirmed that Ronaldo is a doubt.
“I do not know if Ronaldo will be on the field to face Juventus. This will be decided by the medics and by Ronaldo,” he said.
El Fenomeno only made his first appearance of the season last Sunday during the 2-1 win against Cagliari. The 31-year-old played an impressive game, considering his lack of match fitness, winning a penalty and also hitting the post.
Latest reports suggest that Ronaldo will almost certainly miss the big Serie A clash.
