Juventus will take on Arsenal in a mid-season friendly this weekend as both clubs look to get fit before the restart.
The Bianconeri have been working hard to be fresh and ready when Serie A resumes in the new year.
The game against Arsenal will further test how ready their players are to return to the pitch when competitive action resumes.
However, they will have to face the Gunners without Leonardo Bonucci and Federico Chiesa because they are both injured, as reported by Football Italia.
Chiesa recently suffered a minor injury in training and the club do not think it is worth risking him in the game as he is still working to regain his fitness.
The report also reveals that Bonucci has a tendon problem and will need to spend some time recovering before he can be back on the soccer field.
Juve FC says
Injuries have been a big problem for us this season and it’s sad that we’re still struggling with it at the moment.
We have covered the likes of Paul Pogba and Chiesa very well in the first half of the season.
However, we need more luck on the physical side to be as successful as possible this quarter.
