Piece by piece the Old Wild West starts again

The Apu puzzle comes together after the virus wave. Pellegrino and Mussini at work are also missing four

UDINE. Like in the movies: the unexpected is always around the corner. But, as in the movies, the protagonists often come to a happy ending. Just wait.

In the case of APU, the outcome of the swabs to which Juventus players and staff underwent the day after the appearance of the second internal wave from Covid of the current season.

First of all Marco Giuri’s negativity accepted, out of the tunnel as early as January 1st, yesterday the roster was able to formally welcome Federico Mussini and Francesco Pellegrino back into its ranks, negative results for the swabs carried out on Tuesday.

Playmaker and center yesterday attended, from the sidelines, the double session of their teammates: both are awaiting the fitness visit to guarantee the two the authorization for competitive activity.

Absent, however, as still in isolation, Alessandro Cappelletti, Ethan Esposito, Nazzareno Italiano and coach Matteo Boniciolli. The players and the coach went through the control tests yesterday, the response of which, by virtue of today’s holiday, could be postponed to tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the West gang has started filming again. In the control room the trio composed of Alberto Martelossi, Carlo Finetti and Carlo Campigotto: for the elements at their disposal, the approach to the match on January 16 at Agribertocchi Orzinuovi is a film – in part – already seen in the month of November, when the postponement of the match with Turin was followed by the quarantine and the subsequent return to the parquet, with the permission of the Friuli Centrale University Health Authority.

The same Asufc, at the beginning of the week, gave the green light to the group sessions on the parquet.

From the first, in reduced ranks, to those that the Bianconeri could play almost in full at the beginning of next week. A matter of time, of waiting for the happy ending. Like in a movie. Or in a fairy tale: all negative and happy.

Compact to ensure that the credits flow also on this second outbreak of the 2021/22 vintage.

Tomorrow, meanwhile, the Friulian team will train, as scheduled, in the afternoon. Captain Michele Antonutti, meanwhile, is continuing his individual recovery work: athletic trainers Luigino Sepulcri and Tommaso Mazzilis are following him in carrying out the personalized plan launched at the beginning of December.
