Medical bulletin

On the second day of training after the winter break, Club Doctor Agricola summarized the injury situation in an interview with Juventus Channel. Apart from remarking how, despite the holidays, all the players have come back in good shape and with no excess weight, Dr. Agricola focused on the two long-term injuries, involving Camoranesi and Andrade, both of whom are well on their way to recovery.

Camoranesi underwent a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance test earlier today, which showed he's at an advanced state of healing. However the recovery period remains the one set at first, so the midfielder should be available again in around twenty days' time.

As for Andrade, he is moving freely by now; the knee has almost reached normal dimensions, the player is able to bend it more than 110°, and he can extend it completely. However, he'll still be out for quite a while. In around two months' time, he'll undertake a thorough follow-up examination, to see if he's ready to train on the pitch again at that point.
