Festive cheer for Juventus as Cuadrado set to avoid knee surgery
Juan Cuadrado is likely to avoid the need for surgery on a knee injury, Juventus have confirmed.
The Colombia international was sent to Germany for assessment on the problem last week and missed the 1-0 Serie A victory over Roma last Saturday.
The 30-year-old has returned to Turin and will continue conservative treatment in a bid to restore him to full fitness.
"Juan Cuadrado is continuing conservative therapy with some improvement," a Juve statement said.
"At the moment, there are not enough indications to proceed surgically."
Cuadrado has made 15 appearances in all competitions for Massimiliano Allegri's side this season.
