Manuel Locatelli will be called up for Juventus’ upcoming Coppa Italia final against rivals Inter.
The 24-year-old Italian midfielder, who joined the Bianconeri last summer from Sassuolo, suffered a medial collateral ligament problem in the first half of Juventus’ 1-0 loss to Inter on April 3, forcing him to miss the last five consecutive league outings.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Locatelli has recovered from his injury and will be called up by Allegri for the Coppa Italia final against Inter on May 11. He has been working hard in training over the last few days and has been desperate to be fit for the match.
It’s hard to imagine Locatelli starting the match, but he could come off the bench in the second half to give Juventus a boost.
Weston McKennie, on the other hand, has not been able to recover from his injury in time and so will not be called up for the final. He’s aiming to be fit in time for the next league game against Lazio.

Another player ruined his career under allegri flinstone
lol Allegri Flinstone, that is an actual insult to Fred. Still too modern for prehistoric Max, rise of the slow ball, evolution of the bald Pterodactyl.
Loca is a good player but when Omicron Max deploys as a defensive holding midfielder he cannot stamp his mark on the game as he needs to be pushed further up. When Landucci did it against Roma hey presto a goal and instantly more dangerous.
Just because you play Locatelli as an attacking midfielder on FIFA, it doesn’t mean that’s how he plays. He’s a good midfielder but not a playmaker or a pace-setter. Push him further up when there’s no-one behind you and you have a gaping hole in midfield. You’re a genius, Lord One Joke.
