Sky: Krunic unlikely to start against Juventus despite recovery – the situation

Rade Krunic has recovered from the injury that kept him on the sidelines in the last four games. However, the Bosnian is not expected to play from start against Juventus on Sunday, a report claims. 

Krunic sustained a muscle injury in the 1-0 win against Hellas Verona and has since been working hard on his recovery. Today, he was able to take part in the entire training session and is now considered fully healed.

According to Peppe Di Stefano of Sky Italia (via Radio Rossonera), the midfielder is not expected to start against Juventus on Sunday evening. He could, however, play from the first minute against PSG three days later.

Pierre Kalulu has also recovered but is no longer among the top two centre-backs in the pecking order. It remains to be seen if he will be used mainly as a right-back or a centre-forward in the upcoming months. In any case, it’s good to have him back given the tight schedule.
