Ronaldo misses Juventus clash with Udinese in Coppa Italia with sinusitis

Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has missed out on his side's Coppa Italia match with Udinese on Wednesday due to sinusitis.

Prior to the last-16 match at Allianz Stadium, Juventus released a statement on Twitter saying that the Portugal star had been diagnosed with the condition that causes swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses.

"Cristiano Ronaldo was struck by a bout of sinusitis this afternoon and will not be present at the Allianz Stadium for tonight's match," the club said.
