Juventus star Federico Chiesa completed a full training session with his teammates this morning, so he’ll be available against Fiorentina on Sunday.

The Italy international skipped a training session on Thursday due to a mild flu, but regularly returned to group training on Friday at Continassa, Football Italia understands.

This means the 26-year-old will be available to play against his former club, Fiorentina, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on Sunday.

The Italian striker got his name on the scoresheet in Juventus’ 2-0 win over Lazio in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday and is expected to start in the Bianconeri attack alongside Dusan Vlahovic in two days.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri will address the media at a pre-match press conference on Saturday and 13:00 UK time (GMT+1).

Chiesa has scored eight goals in 27 appearances across all competitions this season, delivering two assists.
