The Brazilian superstar has had a real nightmare of things with injuries of late, and there was definitely that ‘not again’ sense when, Ronaldo suddenly was the focal point of attention from the Milan medic just as he was set to come on.
“Ronaldo felt a twinge during the warm-up and still wanted to go on, but considering Clarence Seedorf’s ankle wasn’t in good shape I opted to play it safe,” explained Ancelotti. “Ronaldo is fine and will be available for Saturday.”
The Rossoneri boss then looked ahead to the mouthwatering clash against old rivals Juventus this weekend.
“We have a game on Saturday that will certainly be tough, as Juventus are in good shape and we have to recharge our batteries very quickly, otherwise we could run into problems,” he warned.
“Having played six home games and not won any of them in Serie A this season, I’d say this is an excellent opportunity to end that run.”
Saturday’s nights match is of vital importance to Milan, as anything less than a win will seriously jeopardize their ability to even just qualify amongst the Champions League places.
