The centre-back did not train on the eve of the match against Inter

At Juventus' training session in Perth today, ahead of tomorrow's friendly against Inter, Federico Gatti did not take to the pitch with the rest of his team-mates.


According to Tuttosport,the 28-year-old defender has a slight muscle problem in his right thigh. The 1998-born player will be assessed ahead of tomorrow's friendly against Inter, and the final training session could clear up any remaining doubts.

  • Always present

    The Turin daily points out that, despite the many transfer rumours and Napoli's interest under Giovanni Manna and Massimiliano Allegri, the Juventus centre-back has started every pre-season friendly this summer, featuring against Basel, Standard Liege, Nice and, finally, Chelsea.

  • Spalletti speaks

    At the press conference, Luciano Spalletti said this about Gatti and those who did not complete the full training session with the group today: "Today there were three or four players not on the pitch because of load management and the fatigue that is building up. It is not easy to organise these events. But it is extra fatigue and over the next few hours we will discuss it to see whether they have recovered."
