Andrea Pirlo is set to undergo a fitness test ahead of Juventus’s Champions League return leg against Borussia Dortmund.
The 35-year-old Italy international limped out of the first leg clash against Borussia Dortmund and was later reported to be facing three weeks on the sidelines.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the midfielder is scheduled to undergo a fitness test after the Palermo game on Saturday evening.
However, the player will be subjected to a field test today as the Bianconeri are very eager to have the play-maker return for the next knockout round of the UEFA Champions League which will be played in Dortmund in the middle of next week.
Reportedly Juventus medical staff are following a very cautious approach but are also quietly optimistic about the player’s chances of playing in at least some part of the crucial match.
A 2006 World Cup winner, Pirlo has 114 appearances for Juventus since joining the club in 2011.
