Mandzukic Juventus EmpoliJuventus forward Mario Mandzukic could be fit to face Palermo at the weekend despite fears the Croatian had suffered a muscle injury during the Bianconeri’s Champions League win over Manchester City on Wednesday.

Mandzukic scored the only goal of the game at the Juventus stadium to ensure the Old Lady’s progress to the knockout stages of the competition with a game to spare.

The striker’s fitness ahead of the match against the Rosanero on Sunday had been cast into doubt after fears he had suffered an injury, but those worries have been eased by the news that the forward has only suffered a badly bruised leg.

As a result, the summer signing from Atletico Madrid could make Massimiliano Allegri’s squad as the Bianconeri look to reclaim lost ground in the title race after their poor start to the Serie A season.
