Juventus provided optimistic updates regarding the fitness of Manuel Locatelli and Alex Sandro following their substitutions in Saturday’s 2-1 Serie A victory against Frosinone due to injuries.

In an official statement, Juventus reported, “After the knock picked up in yesterday’s match against Frosinone, Manuel Locatelli underwent tests this morning at the J|Medical centre that ruled out any fracture and confirmed an oblique contusion.”

“For Alex Sandro, meanwhile, an MRI scan on his right thigh ruled out muscular injuries and indicated a hamstring overload.”

“Their condition will be assessed from day to day.”

Locatelli had previously endured a fractured rib, causing him to miss international duty in November.

Juventus’ upcoming match is against Roma at home on Saturday.
