Juventus hopeful on Ronaldo but won't risk relapse in Serie A or Champions League

Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo will undergo further scans on Monday before Juventus can plan his return to first-team action.

Ronaldo picked up a thigh injury during Portugal's 1-1 draw with Serbia on Monday and will not be fit to face Empoli in Serie A this weekend.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was given Friday off to continue his rehabilitation, and Allegri is hopeful his star man will be fit for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Ajax on April 10.
