Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio could return to training next week, as his injury is much less serious than initially anticipated.
The 29-year-old midfielder sustained a knee injury while training with the Italian national team on Friday morning, before it was reported that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament, which would have ruled him out for six months. Fears of a serious injury were, however, later denied by Juventus’ medical staff.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Marchisio could be back in training for the Bianconeri next week, having a slight chance of being available for Juventus’ next Serie A match against Empoli at the Juventus Stadium.
However, it is more probable that the midfielder will be back for Juventus’ Coppa Italia semi-final rematch against Fiorentina on April 7.
Marchisio has made 27 Serie A appearances this season, netting two goals and assisting another six.
