Triple boost for Thiago Motta as Juventus trio resume training ahead of Champions League clash.

In tomorrow’s Champions League match, Juventus coach Thiago Motta will have Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, and Francisco Conceicao at his disposal. The Bianconeri held their breath when Yildiz faced an injury scare during Saturday’s game against Milan. The Turkish was seen gripping his leg in anguish after attempting a shot on Mike Maignan’s goal near the end of the first half. The 19-year-old recovered and remained on the pitch until halftime, but he was nowhere to be found after that. Fortunately for Juventus, they went on to win the match by two unanswered goals, with Yildiz’s replacement Timothy Weah scoring the second goal, thereby ending the game. Nonetheless, the teenager’s condition is a major issue for the club.

However, according to IlBianconero, Yildiz escaped any muscular injuries and was already seen in training on Monday. As a result, the attacker should join the team that will go to Belgium to face Club Brugge. The two clubs will face off on Tuesday night in the penultimate matchday of the Champions League group stage.

 

Similar to Yildiz, McKennie has also overcome a difficulty he sustained against Milan to start training among his colleagues. The American’s availability is a significant benefit for Motta because to his outstanding adaptability. With Juventus’ backline sidelined, McKennie has been covering at both right and left back in recent weeks. Furthermore, Conceicao has now overcome his muscle condition and returned to group exercise. The Portuguese winger received a knock while warming up for the Italian Super Cup semi-finals a few weeks ago. In addition to these injury boosts, Motta brought Randal Kolo Muani into the fold for the first time. The French striker is yet to be registered as Paris Saint-Germain are still trying to open up a spot on their loaned-out list, but his presence in training suggests the two parties are optimistic about finding a solution.
