Juve staff fly out for Tevez

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Juventus have flown a fitness coach to Argentina to work with Carlos Tevez after he delayed his return.

The striker had been due back in Turin to begin training yesterday, but was delayed by what the club termed “a family problem.”

Media in Italy and Argentina suggest it is linked to his wife, who is seven months pregnant and required medical treatment this week.

As Juve play Roma on January 5 in a title showdown, time is short for the forward to find his form.

With this in mind, Sky Sport Italia claim Juventus have flown a fitness coach out to Argentina in order to work with Tevez and keep his fitness levels up.

It is hoped he can be in decent condition when he does return to Italy, although it is not clear when that will be.
