Matthijs de Ligt has been cleared to join up with his Juventus team-mates after recovering from COVID-19.
The centre-back tested positive on January 8 and went into isolation, meaning he missed the Serie A games against Sassuolo and Inter, as well as the Supercoppa Italiana clash with Napoli.
However, having returned two clear swab tests, De Ligt will be included in Andrea Pirlo s squad for Sunday s home fixture with Bologna.
Matthijs de Ligt carried out, as per protocol, two controls of molecular test (swab) for Covid-19 with negative results, a statement from the club read.
Therefore, the player has recovered and is no longer subjected to the isolation regime.
He will join the team at the J Hotel for the retreat this evening and will be included in the squad list for tomorrow s match.
De Ligt has started 12 games in all competitions so far in the 2020-21 season; Juve have only lost once when the defender has played in Serie A, a 3-0 home reverse to Fiorentina.
The Netherlands international missed the start of the campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in August, returning to action in late November.
Juventus are chasing a 10th straight league title in Italy, though have found the going tough in Pirlo s first season in charge and go into the game with Bologna outside the top four in the table.
