Diego Declared Fit To Play For Juventus Against Seongnam Ilhwa – Report
The Brazilian has been cleared to take part in his new club’s next match.
Following their 0-0 draw with Sevilla just a few hours ago, the South Korean outfit have given themselves every chance of progressing further, however it won’t be easy for them, as they face a strong Bianconeri side that will be boosted by the news that their new signing Diego is fit to play.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Brazilian playmaker has overcome some muscular fatigue that resulted in him skipping the Old Lady’s first contest of the tournament.
It is expected that the 24-year-old will take the place of Alessandro Del Piero in the starting line-up; however the Bianconeri captain may join the front two, meaning that the other striker’s role will be filled by one of David Trezeguet, Vincenzo Iaquinta or Amauri.
The clash is set to get underway this Tuesday at 20:30 CET.
