Juventus confirm left thigh adductor injury for Vlahovic | OneFootball

Juventus confirmed this Monday that forward Dusan Vlahovic underwent tests that identified a contusion in the left thigh adductor. According to the club, the Serbian will undergo further consultations to begin appropriate treatment.

Vlahovic was injured in the match against Cagliari last Saturday, during the 13th round of the Italian Championship. At the 31st minute, the forward left the field in tears and was replaced by Jonathan David. The Old Lady won the match with a comeback, by 2 to 1.

After the game, coach Luciano Spalletti commented on the situation, still unaware of the severity of the injury. “It's a strain. He will be out for some time,” said the coach in a press conference.

It is possible to state that Vlahovic will not return in time for the decisive match this Tuesday. Juventus will host Udinese at 5 PM, at Allianz Stadium, in Turin, for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. The club has not disclosed the expected return date for the Serbian forward.

Juventus' Form

Despite losing their top scorer of the season, Juventus aims to maintain their good form. Unbeaten in seven games, the team is making a comeback in the Italian Championship and has climbed to the seventh position, with 23 points — four less than Roma, who are in fourth place and the first team in the Champions League qualification zone.
