Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said Cristiano Ronaldo's one-match Champions League suspension was a welcome break for the Portuguese star to recharge after playing all matches since his move to Turin.
Ronaldo will sit out Tuesday's European game in Turin against Swiss club Young Boys after his controversial sending off after half an hour in Valencia. Juventus went on to win the match 2-0.
"Ronaldo has played every game so far and Saturday was his best ever since he was at Juve," said Allegri of the 3-1 league win over Napoli in which Ronaldo set up all three goals for the champions.
"A little rest will do him good.
"I'm curious to see the team without Ronaldo, although I already saw that in Valencia.
"It's good that he will be with us in Manchester but it's important that he rests as well as he's already played a lot of games for us."
