Chile No2 Beccacece insists Juventus midfielder Vidal staying

Chile assistant coach Sebastian Beccacece insists Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal will be staying with the squad.

Vidal is not fully fit after undergoing knee surgery last month.

"Arturo is a unique player," Beccacece told Tuttosport. "He performs two roles in one - one moment he's a midfielder, and the next he's an extra striker.

"He moves continuously across the pitch and doesn't give his opposite number a moments' peace.

"The idea we have for Arturo is very similar to what he does at Juve.

"Vidal to be cut at the last minute? That topic has never been raised here."
