		</div><p>Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri remains optimistic of having Cristiano Ronaldo fit for the Champions League quarter-final against Ajax but will not rush the forward’s return.</p>
<p>Ronaldo suffered a hamstring problem while away on international duty with Portugal.</p>
<p>Reports have suggested the 34-year-old aggravated the injury during his recovery with the Serie A club.</p>
<p>Before heading away with Portugal, Ronaldo helped the Bianconeri secure a place in the last eight of the Champions League with a stunning hat-trick to beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 in Turin and complete a remarkable turnaround.</p>
<p>Allegri confirmed Juve would not rush their star man back into action unless fully fit, with the runaway Serie A leaders set to play Cagliari away on Tuesday night.</p>
<p><em>“Cristiano Ronaldo is working to get back, we hope to have him ready for Ajax, but it will be difficult,”</em> Allegri told a press conference.</p>
<p><em>“The leg is much better. We still have nine days to go to the Amsterdam game and we have time to evaluate things. We must be careful in everything.”</em></p>
<p>Full-back Leonardo Spinazzola is expected to be out for at least two weeks with a knee problem picked up during a substitute appearance in the 1-0 win over Empoli on Saturday.</p>
<p><em>“He won’t need surgery. I believe everything will be fine and he will be available in 15 days,”</em> Allegri said.</p>
<p>Juventus hold a 15-point lead at the top of Serie A, while Tuesday’s opponents Cagliari sit 12th, but Allegri is not taking the Sardinian side lightly.</p>
<p><em>“Tomorrow will be a difficult game, against a side that are strong at home,”</em> Allegri told a press conference reported by the club’s website.</p>
<p><em>“Cagliari will look to make a good impression and it will be an interesting match.</em></p>
<p><em>“The team is in a good condition. In this period we will play every three days, therefore, it is fundamental to be able to rest.</em></p>
<p><em>“Juventus always has the great quality to bring the best out of players. This is fundamental for the growth of youngsters.”</em></p>
<p>Cagliari manager Rolando Maran insists his side play every game to get a result as his side prepare to face the league leaders.</p>
<p><em>“This game has a special meaning,”</em> he told cagliaricalcio.com.</p>
<p><em>“The ranking is still to be improved, we must find continuity and we would like to give our fans another satisfaction.</em></p>
<p><em>“We must have the will to cultivate the dream within us. We play every game to get a result: this must be our mentality.”</em></p>
<p>Maran believes the 3-0 win at Chievo on Friday took a weight off his side’s shoulders but they will be without Lucas Castro and former Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan for the Juventus game.</p>
