Juventus have won all four of their Serie A games so far, though their season has already been blighted after Cristiano Ronaldo was given a red card during his side's Champions League clash with Valencia earlier in the week.
The loss of the Portuguese superstar will be a huge blow for the Italian side, who are desperate to taste European glory, particularly as it was Ronaldo's experience in winning the competition that led them to spend such a hefty sum of cash on him.
The Serie A champions will travel to 19th-placed Frosinone on Sunday, in a game Ronaldo will be expected to feature prominently.

Frosinone have lost three of their opening Serie A games so far, drawing the other, which is good news for Juventus and Ronaldo, should the Portuguese international want to bounce back from the devastation of his red card against Valencia.
Ronaldo finally got off the mark last weekend as he opened his goalscoring account against Sassuolo, scoring two goals, and he is expected to make another solid contribution to the side when they travel to Frosinone – who are in the relegation zone.
The red card that the 33-year-old received will not rule him out of a return to former club Manchester United in the Champions League group stage, much to his and the Bianconeri's relief.
Midfielder Costa was given a four-match ban for violent conduct and spitting on a Sassuolo player in the previous game, though will see out his ban from the medical table after picking up an injury in Spain.
