Giorgio Chiellini was welcomed back to training with the rest of the squad after recovering from a torn rectus femoris in his right thigh sustained in last month’s friendly against Lechia Gdansk.
The Bianconeri gathered this morning at 10.30 CEST for an intensive, but varied workout in view of the first match of the season against Udinese on Sunday.
Players focused on technical exercises, in which they practised crossing, dribbling, shooting and sharp passing between the cones, before turning their attentions to tactical drills, ball retention and distribution.
Absent from today’s workout, however, was Claudio Marchisio, due to a slight muscular strain in his right thigh. The midfielder will undergo medical checks in the next few hours.
Tomorrow sees the Bianconeri take on the Primavera for the annual pre-season friendly at Villar Perosa, kick-off at 17.00 CEST. The Coppa Italia, Scudetto and Super Cup trophies are to be paraded before the fans in what is set to be a very special occasion for the Juventus family.
