Cristiano Ronaldo is available to play for his Italian football team today.
Ronaldo, who is facing a rape allegation in the United States, could play when Juventus face Udinese in the Italian league, according to coach Massimiliano Allegri. However, he would not definitively say Ronaldo will start.
"Cristiano's doing well. I've known him for three months, but I can say that in his 15 years of his career he has shown great professionalism and seriousness both on and off the field," Allegri said yesterday. "In regard to tomorrow, he is ready to return to action."
Kathryn Mayorga filed a lawsuit last week in Nevada saying she was raped by Ronaldo in Las Vegas in 2009. Police have also re-opened an investigation. Ronaldo has denied the accusation.
"It's a delicate moment but he has large shoulders," Allegri said. "I see him calm in training. Ronaldo's professionalism on and off the field is indisputable."
