The end of the ordeal is really around the corner, Paul Pogba and Dusan Vlahovic are now close to returning available.
Both, in fact, took part in this afternoon's joint test against the amateurs from Fossano: 45 minutes that were particularly useful for the Frenchman and the Serbian, used in this test precisely to evaluate their respective improvements.
Juan Cuadrado also took part in the appointment, the other big man still stuck in the infirmary but close to returning for the official matches.
Massimiliano Allegri can smile, for all three the road to the return is decidedly downhill.
