Juventus have confirmed that coach Maurizio Sarri has been diagnosed with pneumonia and it’s still not very clear if he would be available for their first match against Parma.
Sarri missed Juve’s friendly win over Triestina on Saturday due to the persistence of flu, which he developed last week.
He returned to the club’s training base today but was unable to oversee preparation work on the pitch due to his illness.
The club conducted further examinations and Sarri has now begun a course of treatment.
Juve begin their Serie A campaign against Parma on Saturday. It is unclear whether Sarri will be in a position to take charge of the team.
