João Cancelo claims Ronaldo will be 'fit to play' against Ajax

Juventus defender João Cancelo has hinted that Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit to face Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old has not featured since suffering a muscle injury with Portugal on March 25, but remained adamant that he would return for the quarter-final clash.

Cancelo himself was a doubt to feature, but after recovering from a calf problem, is looking forward to lining up alongside his international team-mate.

“I am feeling well,” he told Sky Italia. “I had a minor problem at the calf that’s why I didn’t play the last two games.

“Now I am fit and ready to play, I will play in Amsterdam. Cristiano Ronaldo is training with us and he will do everything he can to play.

“He thinks he will be called-up, then we’ll see if he will start. Obviously the manager has the last word.”

The Bianconeri face Ajax having dropped points in just one of their last eight games.
