Andrea Pirlo is waiting to see if Cristiano Ronaldo can now be selected after testing positive for Coronavirus, as he confirmed Paulo Dybala will start in Juventus' clash with Hellas Verona.

Ronaldo has been self-isolating since then after contacting while on international duty with Portugal and missed Juve's 1-1 draw with Crotone and their 2-0 Champions League win over Dynamo Kiev.

The Serie A giants have only played 13 matches without the Portugal captain since his arrival for the 2018-19 season and their win percentage in those games stands at 54 per cent, while they have been victorious in 73 per cent of league matches when he plays.

One forward who will appear on Sunday is Dybala, who made his first appearance of the season against Dynamo and is set to start against Verona.

Dybala played 33 times in Serie A last season, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists, but a thigh injury has made him less available this season.

"We had time to rest after the trip to Dynamo Kiev, so apart from Giorgio Chiellini, everyone else is available," Pirlo told a news conference.
