By AFPMore by this AuthorMILANCristiano Ronaldo's thigh injury picked up during Portugal's 1-1 Euro 2020 qualifier draw with Serbia has sparked alarm in Italy ahead of Juventus's Champions League quarter-final tie against Ajax in two weeks' time. Ronaldo underwent tests in Portugal on Tuesday with Juventus moving to allay fears afterwards by issuing a statement to say the injury was a "minor" one. "Cristiano Ronaldo underwent examinations in Portugal that showed an apparent minor injury to his right thigh flexors," the Serie A giants said in a statement. Ronaldo was rested two weeks ago when the Italian champions suffered their first league defeat this season, 2-0 against Genoa in their last game before the international break. Juventus signed the five-time Champions League winner last summer for 100 million euros ($117 million) to end their search for the title they last won in 1996.
