TURIN. End of the Covid nightmare for Leonardo Bonucci. The Juventus defender recovered after ten days and is back at Andrea Pirlo’s disposal after missing the matches against Toro, Napoli and Genoa. “He carried out, as per protocol, 2 controls with a molecular test (swab) for Covid-19 with negative results. The player is therefore healed – the Juventus club communicates – and no longer subjected to the isolation regime: he will join the team tomorrow afternoon at the Training Center ».
Bonucci will be a precious return in view of Sunday afternoon’s Champions League match in Bergamo against Atalanta, while Federico Bernardeschi remains in isolation. Both were victims of the outbreak that broke out in the national team during the world qualifying matches. Bonucci had a positive result on 1 April, after the matches with Italy, and was included in the long list of bianconeri stopped by Covid: Dybala, McKennie, Ronaldo, De Ligt, Cuadrado, Alex Sandro, Bentancur, Demiral and Bernardeschi.
