The good news for Juventus came in the hours before the game: there is a green light for the return to the field of Juan Cuadrado, who was negative by the covid after the second buffer also gave a negative result. The Colombian was immediately called up for the Super Cup and will join the team at Reggio Emilia’s training ground: it is not ruled out that he can play from the start. In that case Danilo would play on the right in the three-man defense, with Cuadrado on the right and Chiesa on the left.
