Top scorer in tears, set to miss Juventus v Benfica: I’m injured... | OneFootball

Dusan Vlahovic will be sidelined for Juventus after suffering an injury during the 'vecchia signora's' latest Serie A victory. The Serbian striker received an initial diagnosis of a muscle injury in his left leg and is expected to be out of Luciano Spalletti’s squad for the next few months.

"I’m injured, I’m injured!" the footballer reportedly shouted, around the half-hour mark of the match between Juventus and Cagliari, leaving the field in tears. The coach addressed the issue at the end of the match and confirmed the player’s absence for the upcoming games: "He will be out for quite a while."

According to reports, there is concern within Juventus that the layoff could last around two months. Remember that Benfica will face Juventus away on January 21st in the Champions League, and Dusan Vlahovic is one of the team’s key players.

The Serbian striker, it should be noted, has six goals and two assists in 17 matches for Juventus this season. The Turin side beat Cagliari 2-1, with a brace from Kenan Yildiz, and are currently in seventh place in Serie A with 23 points, five behind leaders Milan (28).

The match, which will be played at Estádio da Luz, is scheduled for next Friday, December 5th, at 8:15 pm. Benfica – who defeated Nacional – want to beat Rui Borges’ team for the second time this season, after winning the Super Cup.
