Juve, Fagioli ahead of Continassa between injury and change of role

Two opposite paths to get to the same point and cross paths at the start of the season, then who knows, maybe even in the Juve shirt. Not only Pogba: Nicolò Fagioli also returns to Continassa ahead of time, starting on Wednesday, to start work a few days before next Monday’s rally. For a departure that will necessarily be late on his teammates, but with a view to a season waiting to confirm himself, and maybe carve out a different place in the team.

THE COLLARBONE

—

We had left Fagioli a month and a half ago to end the season ahead of time due to a broken collarbone, on May 18 in Seville after 41 minutes of the return leg of the Europa League semi-final: within a couple of days he had to operate for the reduction of the fracture – an operation of which he did not fail to post the substantial scar -, with recovery times set by the Juventus press release at two months, translated by Nicolò into “end of July-beginning of August”. Which means at the turn of the tour in the United States or more likely after, to try to join the group in the last couple of weeks approaching the start of the championship on August 20th.

IN DIRECTION

—

Started last season as a talent in search of an author, for three months more outside than inside Juve, before the World Cup break Fagioli was able to take advantage of the absences to become a starter. Twelve months later, the Nicolò we find today is a certainty in a department that is being redesigned. Because, with the only immense variable of Pogba, with the confirmation of Rabiot the system remains that of last year. But they could change roles in comedy. Yes, because Allegri has never hidden that he sees a future as a director for Fagioli. A project that would go great with two very physical midfielders alongside him, like Rabiot and Pogba, or Locatelli himself who would move there, as Juventus has often been predicated of being able to do in this two-year period.
