CRISTIANO RONALDO handed Juventus a major injury blow after limping off injured for Portugal.
The 34-year-old striker hobbled off holding the back of his leg with an apparent hamstring problem.
Ronaldo pulled up while chasing a loose ball and immediately signalled for a substitution.
He was replaced by Pizzi on the half-hour mark of the Euro 2020 qualifier in Lisbon.
Juventus will be sweating on the fitness of their talisman for their Champions League quarter-final tie against Ajax.
The first leg of that showdown in Amsterdam takes place on April 10 with the return in Italy six days later.
Juventus will be hoping that it is nothing more than a minor muscle injury for Ronaldo and he's free to return for that last-eight tie.
They are 15 points clear of second-placed Napoli in Serie A with 10 games remaining and cruising towards an eighth straight title.
Portugal were frustrated by Ukraine in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier on Friday as they were held to a 0-0 draw.
They will join England, Holland and Switzerland in the Nations League semi-finals in June.
