Positive developments for Igor Tudor and Juventus ahead of Tuesday`s crucial Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Real Madrid. Portuguese forward Francisco Conceicao has successfully completed a full training session with the main squad. This signals his return to availability and suggests a strong possibility of starting the match to provide a fresh dynamic to the Bianconeri attack.
The manager of the `Old Lady` can breathe a sigh of relief concerning team news, following the recent unfortunate injury to Nicolò Savona. Scans on the defender, who suffered an ankle problem in the second half against Manchester City, revealed a high-grade capsuloligamentous lesion. The club stated in a note that he will be re-evaluated with further tests in a month.
While Tudor heavily rotated the squad against Manchester City, it`s highly probable that he will revert to his current first-choice players for the Round of 16 clash against the Blancos. This is expected to include a front three featuring Conceicao himself, Kolo Muani, and Kenan Yildiz, all of whom have shown promising form early in the Club World Cup tournament.
