Soule wants to be available vs Juventus, Dybala still in doubt

A friendly just to keep up with the match rhythm.

Those privileged enough not to have to play in the European playoffs can afford it. So, ahead of the match against Juventus, Gasperini organized another test at Trigoria on the day training resumed.

This time, it was against Montespaccato, coached by former Giallorossi player Romondini, a club that plays in Serie D.

The match ended 4-0 to the Giallorossi with goals from El Aynaoui, Venturino, Tsimikas, and Arduini, a Primavera player and nephew of Picchio De Sisti.

Gasperini praised the team’s form, even though some starters, such as Koné, Ndicka, Mancini, and Pellegrini, were spared.

But the coach was even more pleased with the news from the infirmary.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, in addition to El Shaarawy’s return to the team after more than a month’s absence, there are signs of recovery for Soulé, who will rest for another day or two.

This return is crucial to boost Malen’s fitness. Doubts still remain regarding Paulo Dybala.

The inflammation in his knee is improving significantly, but there’s no specific date for La Joya’s return yet.

His condition will be evaluated day by day.

The same goes for Hermoso, who has been ruled out of a tendon injury, but who suffered an iliopsoas strain shortly before taking the field against Cremonese.
