Ronaldo & Costa return to Juve squad for Ajax tie as Chiellini & Can left out

Cristiano Ronaldo is back in Juventus’ squad to face Ajax in the Champions League quarter-finals, but Giorgio Chiellini and Emre Can are left out.

Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury, but Chiellini has been struck by a calf problem and Can is struggling with an ankle strain.

The pair join Martin Caceres and Juan Cuadrado on the treatment table, although the Bianconeri are also boosted by the returns of Mattia Perin, Andrea Barzagli and Douglas Costa.

Although Barzagli is an option to partner Leonardo Bonucci in central defence, Daniele Rugani is expected to get the nod.

The first leg of the tie gets under way in Amsterdam on Wednesday.

Full Squad:

Goalkeepers: Szczesny, Pinsoglio, Perin; 

Defenders: De Sciglio, Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Bonucci, Cancelo, Rugani, Spinazzola; 

Midfielders: Pjanic, Khedira, Matuidi, Bentancur, Nicolussi Caviglia; 

Forwards: Ronaldo, Dybala, Douglas Costa, Mandzukic, Kean, Bernardeschi.
