Pavel Nedved has declared himself fit for Juventus’ crucial Champions’ League clash with Liverpool.
The former Lazio star collided with fellow Czech Tomas Ujfalusi and landed awkwardly on his back during the Bianconeri’s 3-3 draw with Fiorentina. Despite his recent injury problems, Nedved was able to finish the match.
“It was only a little knock,” he stated. “I hope that the worst period is over because I want to have a great end to the season with Juventus – starting against Liverpool.”
Having only returned from injury last week, the Old Lady will be delighted to hear that Nedved is fine to face Liverpool – but the player himself admits that he must find form quickly.
“Since I have come back I have tried to give the maximum,” he added. “I was happy with how I played at Anfield but I didn’t like the way I played in Florence.
"Now we will see in the third game. I have learned to take each game as it comes because it is difficult to play when you are not fully fit.”
Juventus go into the Champions’ League quarter-final second leg with a 2-1 deficit to overturn.
