Juventus reveal update on Cristiano Ronaldo’s thigh injury ahead of Ajax clash

Cristiano Ronaldo is facing race against time to make Juventus squad for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Ajax

According to Metro, Juventus boss Massiliano Allegri took out time to speak on the forward, who suffered a thigh injury while representing Portugal in the Euro qualifiers.

The former Real Madrid ace has not featured in any Juventus match since the international break and will sit out Juventus’ Serie A game against Cagliari on Tuesday, April 2, after missing the weekend’s win over Empoli.

Ajax play host to Juventus at the Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday, April 10, and Allegri confessed Ronaldo was battling to be fit to play.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is working to get back, we hope to have him ready for Ajax, but it will be difficult,” Allegri summed up ahead of tonight’s clash with Cagliari.

Ronaldo stressed he will not miss more than 14 days after cropping the thigh injury and Juventus are eager to have their main man back.

The Portuguese forward netted a hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the last-16 round to book a quarter-finals spot.

That performance helped Juventus overturn a 2-0 deficit by Atletico in their first leg clash at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
