The former Czech international left the field in tears in the Birra Moretti Trophy during the game with rivals AC Milan, however it appears that he only suffered a slight bruise to his left calf.
He will miss Juventus' traditional friendly with Villar Perosa scheduled for tomorrow, but he should be given the thumbs up for selection for the return leg of the Champions League preliminary clash with Artmedia Petrzalka. Nedved missed the first leg due to suspension dating back to 2006, but he is raring to go for his first real competitive game of the new season.
There’s also more good news for Juve as winger Mauro Camorenesi is fit again after missing Italy's midweek friendly with Austria. Juve fans will be able to breathe easier, as injuries have been piling up for the Bianconeri lately.
Italian internationals Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero, and Vincenzo Iaquinta will also sit out tomorrow's friendly for precautionary reasons, but should all be ready for coach Claudio Ranieri against Artmedia.
Meanwhile, Marco Marchionni, Cristiano Zanetti and Hasan Salihamidzic are still recovering and all likely to sit out the Champions League match in Bratislava.
Juventus are already without stopper Giorgio Chiellini for about a month, but take a 4-0 aggregate lead into the second leg against the Slovakian outfit.
