Injured Juventus star is pushing to be involved against Atalanta | OneFootball

Andrea Cambiaso has been injured since Juventus’ match against Parma and is now close to returning to action, but he was not included in the Bianconeri squad for their Europa League match against NEC.

Earlier in the day, Juventus attempted to involve him in the final training session before the game. However, the club decided it was better for Cambiaso to avoid the match and continue his recovery, while Weston McKennie was declared fit and available for selection.

Cambiaso is eager to return because he misses playing for Juventus and wants to be back on the pitch as soon as possible. The Bianconeri are also keen to have him available again, although they will not take unnecessary risks with his recovery.

Cambiaso Eager To Return

There is still a long way to go this season, with Juventus potentially facing more than 50 matches depending on how far they progress in all competitions. That makes it important for the club to manage injuries carefully rather than rush players back too soon.

However, Cambiaso is growing tired of watching matches from the sidelines and wants to end his period of inactivity. The defender is now pushing to prove that he is ready to return and hopes his efforts will be enough to earn him a place in the squad soon.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cambiaso is pushing to prove his fitness and feature against Atalanta this weekend. The defender does not want to miss another match as the season continues.

Juventus To Make Final Decision

Cambiaso’s desire to return means he will be eager to complete the necessary fitness work before the weekend. Juventus, however, will have the final say on whether he is ready to play.

The Bianconeri will evaluate him again before making a decision, with the defender needing to pass a late fitness test before he can be considered available for the Atalanta fixture.

Cambiaso therefore faces an anxious wait as he attempts to make his return. His eagerness to play again is clear, but Juventus will prioritise his recovery and only allow him to feature if he is considered fully ready.

For now, the defender must continue working towards his comeback and wait for the club’s final assessment. A successful late fitness test would give him the opportunity to return to competitive action this weekend.
