The midfielder was sent home from international duty on Friday afternoon with a medical report showing a “sub-total lesion” to the anterior cruciate ligament.

There were reports he’d be out of action for six to eight months, sparking a furious reaction from Juve and their fans.

However, Marchisio underwent another MRI scan in Turin that same evening and that found no lesions to the ligament at all.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marchisio has recovered so quickly from the sprain that he’ll be back in full training with the squad on Monday.

He could at this stage even play in Saturday’s Serie A game against Empoli.

The confusion over why the two tests showed such different results continues, as the Istituto Fanfani medics insist there is a sub-total lesion in the knee ligament.

It won’t stop Marchisio playing, but is something to keep an eye on.
