Juventus will get 15 points back in Sere A after their deduction was temporarily undone after an appeal.
- Juve set for points boost
- 15 points temporarily returned to Old Lady
- Pushes them into top four
WHAT HAPPENED? After a major points deduction appeared to send Juventus' season spiralling into turmoil, the Bianconeri have been given a huge boost amid new legal developments surrounding their 15-point deduction. While the appeal continues, Juve will have the 15 points reinstated, though they face a new trial that could yet knock them back again.
For now, they have jumped back into the top four, ahead of Roma, AC Milan and Inter.
THE BIGGER PICTURE:
Following a testimony presented to the Collegio di Garanzia, it has
been decided that the points will be temporarily reinstated, confirmed
in a press release by the Italian Football Federation/FIGC. It states
that appeals made by Juventus have been accepted, which completely
changes the landscape of the season for Massimiliano Allegri's side.
AND WHAT'S MORE:
The sentence is now expected to be reformulated, per GOAL Italy, with decisions to be made by the Italian Football Federation appeals court over the next 30 days.
