Cristiano Ronaldo is in line to make his Serie A debut for Juventus away to Chievo, while the release of the league's fixtures has handed AC Milan a daunting start.

The Portugal captain could then make his home league debut for Juventus, which sealed a deal worth €112million to buy Ronaldo from Real Madrid, a week later against Lazio.
