[Serie A] Genoa 2-2 JUVENTUS Sep 24th 2009 - 5th round (19 Viewers)
- Thread starter Azzurri7
- Start date
Juventus have received a massive boost ahead of tomorrow night's trip to Genoa, as Felipe Melo, the Brazil international midfielder, has been declared fit to play.
Melo twisted an ankle during last week's Champions League game against Bordeaux and missed Sunday's 2-0 victory over Livorno.
The 26-year-old, who signed from Fiorentina this summer, has started training again with the first team along with utility player Hasan Salihamidzic, who has also recovered from injury.
However, Juventus Coach Ciro Ferrara still has something of an injury crisis to contend with.
Despite Diego's wishes to be back in time for tomorrow evening, Ferrara is unsure whether to risk him, especially given Juventus' match against Bayern Munich next week.
The same goes for Ale Del Piero who joined Diego for a training session with Dodo Sormani, the coach who trains the team's attack.
Meanwhile, Momo Sissoko, Fabio Cannavaro and Tiago all trained alone according to their own personal fitness programmes.
