Cristiano Ronaldo has made a significant impact since returning from coronavirus and the Portuguese ace has recently scored a brace in the 2-0 win over Cagliari.

Leanardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini have been added to the injury list while Paulo Dybala will continue to compete for a place in the starting 11.
