Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the Bianconeri will rest the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for the rest of the season and have asked him to focus on the Champions League 2019-20. Also the team also already clinched their ninth title Serie A title and it would be futile to make their important players in the remaining games. Juventus would be playing the last game of the Serie A 2019-20 on August 2, 2020, against Roma.

Talking about the game being hosted by Cagliari, even Paulo Dybala has been ousted due to an injury. The last time when the two teams came across each other in January 2020, CR7 had scored a hat-trick and helped the team win the game by 4-0. If the team happens to rest the Portugal star, it is very likely that he might miss out on the Golden Boot which would go to Lazio's Ciro Immobile. For now, all the fans would be hoping to see CR7 in action for the match against Cagliari.
