Cristiano Ronaldo is not even in the Juventus squad travelling to Genoa for Sunday’s Serie A match.

The Bianconeri are 18 points clear at the top of the Serie A table and qualified for the Champions League quarter-final thanks to their 3-0 victory over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening.

Ronaldo bagged a hat-trick and has earned himself some rest, as CR7 is not even in the travelling party going to Marassi.
