Bonucci given all-clear?

By Football Italia staff

Leonardo Bonucci’s injury is reportedly nothing serious, but he’s still likely to be rested for Bologna.

The Juventus defender had to be substituted in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Napoli, raising fears he could miss the Champions League Last 16 tie with Bayern Munich next week.

However, Sky is today reporting that tests have shown that Bonucci has simply taken a slight knock, and will be fit for Friday’s trip to Bologna.

Despite this, it’s expected Daniele Rugani will start alongside Andrea Barzagli at Dall’Ara, as Bonucci will be rested ahead of the Bayern game.

Saturday’s match was the Old Lady’s 15th League win in a row, and allowed them to go top of Serie A by one point.

A win against the Rossoblu on Friday would give Allegri’s men the chance to equal Inter’s record of 17 consecutive Serie A wins when the Nerazzurri visit Turin on February 28.
