The session consisted of nearly two hours of training with Salihamidzic and Grgyera present for the first part which consisted of simple athletic work. The defender, should be back with the group tomorrow just like Marchisio who spent today in the gym. The results of the last radiography tests for Sissoko were positive and thus the midfielder was given the go ahead to intensify the athletic work load. De Ceglie’s conditions put Ranieri’s mind at rest. The defender took part in the whole session on the field. The emergency in the defence for Sunday has therefore somewhat been solved. The recovery of the defender from Valle D’Aosta is an important one in view of Sunday’s match against Atalanta due to the simultaneous absences of Molinaro and the suspended Chiellini.In the match against the bergamaschi as well as in the other two against Siena and Lazio, even the weather could be an important variable which may condition the matches. This is why the team is proceeding with intense work in the afternoon even on Thursday and Friday before the morning session on schedule for Saturday.Juventus.com
