Juventus have received a boost ahead of their Champions League quarter-final meeting with Ajax as Cristiano Ronaldo has recovered in time to play, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
The Portuguese suffered an injury to his right thigh on March 25 but has remarkably returned to fitness ahead of schedule and will play at the Johan Cruyff Arena on April 10 unless he suffers a relapse.
Alarm bells rang in Turin when the No.7 fell injured on international duty and while initial tests ruled out fears of a serious injury, the forward was expected to miss the first leg of the Champions League tie.
But Cristiano has incredibly recovered already and will feature in Amsterdam as he goes in search of his sixth Champions League title.
Juventus face AC Milan in Serie A on Saturday and while Ronaldo might play, he's likely to be saved in order to avoid aggravating the injury.
