The former Barcelona man’s condition is being closely monitored by the Bianconeri, but he is showing positive signs and so is expected to be in the squad list for the upcoming match against Lazio, although he will start the game on the bench.
The Turin based club are hoping that Arthur will be fully fit in time for next week’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Porto, which they are currently trailing 2-1.
