Football Italia reports that Juventus have received two encouraging fitness updates during an injury-hit opening to the season, with Andrea Cambiaso and Randal Kolo Muani both making progress in their recoveries. The report says Cambiaso, who has missed the last four matches because of an ankle injury, took part in part of Tuesday’s group session at Continassa.
Kolo Muani had surgery on Monday to fix a fractured finger and has not returned to training yet, but the report says he is back in Turin and worked individually in the gym on Tuesday. Juventus are said to be hoping he can be available immediately after the international break.
Almost Signed analysis: that leaves Juventus with one player already rejoining team work and another only just starting recovery, so the practical consequence is improved depth rather than an immediate full-strength return.
What remains unconfirmed
- Whether Cambiaso will be fit for Juventus' next match after the break.
- Whether Kolo Muani will actually be selected immediately after the international break.
