Juventus Brace for Big Injury, Eye Man United Defender | OneFootball

Juventus might have endured another major blow in the back. Juan Cabal is feared to have suffered an ACL tear while practicing with Colombia. The early reports from abroad are discouraging. He’ll take the tests quickly after his return, Sky reports.

The Bianconeri were already searching for a defender to replace Gleison Bremer. They might have to bring in two if the former Verona man is out long-term as well. The latest option attached to them is Victor Lindelof. His entourage has offered him, TuttoSport informs.

The Swedish international has logged just 58 minutes in the Premier League and 145 in Europe. Ruben Amorim’s go-to scheme is unlikely to be favorable to him. He’s under contract with Manchester United only until June, which could lead to his January departure. The 30-year-old joined in a €35M move from Benfica back in 2017. He has accumulated 266 appearances during his time at Old Trafford.

The two teams might concoct a swap that could help both. Danilo is in the same situation and might be a better fit for the new gaffer’s formation. The Old Lady has added a few options to their already lengthy wish list, for instance, Feyenoord’s David Hancko and Lens’ Kevin Danso, who has solved the health issues that made his Roma move collapse, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

Our Take on Juventus and Lindelof

He could be a viable reinforcement if available for cheap, while trade wouldn’t make much sense as, even if Danilo has been poor, they’d still need to replace him. If Cabal indeed got seriously hurt, they should kill two birds with one stone and find somebody who can play both in the middle and the left.
