„Juventus“ medics ignited the green light for the leader and newcomer of the Italian champions team. The head coach of the Turin team, Massimiliano Allegri, invited 26 players to prepare for the annual „Trofeo“ TIM tournament. The list included only the names of Arturo Vidal and Romulo, who started training with the team just last Thursday. Due to injuries, the guards had to miss all friendly matches of the Turin team this summer and have been working separately from the team following individual rehabilitation programs. In Turin, Andrea Barzagli and the team's newcomer Alvaro Morata are recovering from injuries. M. Allegri also included three players from the „Juventus“ youth academy in the list - goalkeeper Emil Audero and defenders Federico Mattiello and Mattia Vitale. In the „Trofeo“ TIM tournament, which started in 2001, the Italian champions will test their strength against „Milan“ and last year's winners, the players of „Sassuolo“. The teams will play 45-minute matches against each other, and in case of a tie, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks from eleven meters. The matches in Reggio Emilia will start at 21:40 local time. Players registered for the „Trofeo“ TIM tournament: Goalkeepers Emil Audero, Gianluigi Buffon, Rubinho, Marco Storari.
