Ronaldo wants to risk playing for Juventus despite must-win Atletico Madrid upcoming match

Despite a crucial Champions League tie with La Liga opponents approaching, the Portuguese will not be rested for a Serie A clash with Napoli.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the Juventus side to take on Napoli in Serie A on Sunday after overcoming an ankle injury, Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed.

Ronaldo worked separately from his team-mates on Wednesday after picking up a knock in last weekend's 1-0 win over Bologna but did return to full training the following day.

Juve's commanding 13-point lead over Napoli - their nearest challengers in the table - prompted suggestions the Portuguese could be rested from Sunday's meeting as Allegri's men look ahead to a Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid in 10 days.

The Bianconeri trail 2-0 from the opening leg in the Spanish capital and will surely need Ronaldo at the peak of his powers to have any hope of a turnaround, but Allegri dismissed the notion of resting his star man for the visit to Napoli.

"Ronaldo trained with the team and will play tomorrow," Allegri told a news conference on Saturday.

"Sami Khedira needs tests. We hope to get Douglas Costa back against Atletico Madrid, but Juan Cuadrado is still a long way off recovery."

The loss in Madrid, as well as Juve's surprise Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Atalanta in late January, has seen the Serie A champions come in for what Allegri believes is unwarranted criticism.
