Juventus blow: Milik suffers tibia injury, out for a week | OneFootball

It’s not an easy period for Arkadiusz Milik, and his path to full recovery has hit another setback. The Polish striker, formerly of Napoli, who has been sidelined for over a year due to a long-term injury, suffered a new lesion on Friday, July 25, during a gym exercise.

Juventus, another setback for Milik: tibia injury during a gym exercise. Return expected in a week

The Bianconeri club officially announced the incident through a medical bulletin published on their website.

The club statement: “Lacerated-contused wound to the right tibia” According to the club, Milik suffered a lacerated-contused wound to the anterior region of his right tibia, caused by an accidental incident during indoor training. Fortunately, it is not a serious issue: the estimated recovery time is about seven days, with the Polish player aiming to rejoin the group before the start of the league season.

The new injury, although minor, still represents an additional obstacle for a player who has had to deal with a long series of physical setbacks in recent seasons. Juventus is closely monitoring the situation, aware of the importance of the former Napoli player in completing the attacking lineup.

The situation of the injured at Continassa While Milik remains sidelined, Juventus continued their summer preparations yesterday with a double training session. In the morning, the focus was on fitness, while in the afternoon the emphasis shifted to individual technique and ball possession, concluding with small-sided games. Absent, in addition to Milik, was also a group of players still engaged in their recovery process.

Among them, Perin and Kelly are following a specific rehabilitation program: the goalkeeper is working individually with the coach, while the defender has started running on the field again, alternating with gym sessions. For Nicolò Savona, who is recovering from an injury sustained during the Club World Cup, therapy continues. Cabal, on the other hand, is gradually reintegrating with the group, participating in some of the collective training sessions.

Awaiting a full return For Igor Tudor — and his staff — the goal remains to recover Milik without rushing the process, especially in a season that promises to be packed with commitments between the league, cups, and offensive rotations. The club’s hope is to be able to count on the striker already in the early rounds of Serie A, but much will depend on the player’s physical response in the coming days.

In the meantime, Juventus continues their preparations at Continassa, with their sights set on the first summer friendlies and the official debut scheduled for the second half of August.
