It is now official – Ronaldo and Mauro German Camoranesi are out of Saturday’s Milan-Juventus showdown.
The two players were in doubt due to injury and neither managed to recover in time for a spot on the bench.
Ronaldo felt a twinge in his calf muscle as he was warming up to come on as a substitute during the 1-1 draw with Benfica on Wednesday evening.
Il Fenomeno is not in the squad named by Coach Carlo Ancelotti for this game, but Pippo Inzaghi has returned after a bout of tonsillitis.
It is believed Alberto Gilardino will start upfront in a Christmas Tree formation with support from Kaka and Clarence Seedorf.
Over at Juventus, Camoranesi has not made the trip to Milan after failing a late fitness test today.
The Italian international is still struggling with a right thigh problem he picked up during training this week and stays behind along with Zdenek Grygera.
Milan squad: Dida, Kalac; Bonera, Cafu, Kaladze, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Serginho; Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf; Gilardino, Inzaghi
Juventus squad: Buffon, Birindelli, Chiellini, Almiron, Zebina, Zanetti, Salihamidzic, Iaquinta, Del Piero, Nedved, Belardi, Vanstrattan, Trezeguet, Criscito, Palladino, Nocerino, Molinaro, Tiago, Marchionni, Legrottaglie
