Is Cristiano Ronaldo playing tonight: Cristiano Ronaldo Injury Update

Cristiano Ronaldo is completely fit and raring to go as Juventus aim to get back in the title race and hope to compete for the Serie A challenge with the Milan outfits leading the race. The 36-year old attacker last featured for Juventus during their away trip to Hellas Verona where the Portuguese forward found the back of the net to hand Juventus the lead within the first five minutes of the second half. However, Hellas Verona managed to crawl back into the game as Antion Barak's 77th-minute equaliser made sure that the hosts walk away with a point at the end of the 90 minutes.

Currently on the top of Serie A's goal-scoring charts, Ronaldo has just one more goal than Inter Milan Striker Romelu Lukaku and will see the game against Spezia as an opportunity to add more goals to his tally.
