Juventus are preparing to face Inter Milan at San Siro amid an injury crisis, but there’s a glimmer of hope regarding Douglas Luiz’s condition. Thiago Motta’s squad is dealing with numerous absences, and the recent match against Stuttgart has left its mark. Not only did it result in their first Champions League and overall seasonal defeat, but it also saw the Brazilian midfielder sidelined just before the game at the Allianz Stadium. “He experienced some minor discomfort, and as a precaution, the medical staff decided to rest him. It doesn’t seem serious, but it’s certainly not what we needed,” Giuntoli admitted in the pre-match interview before Juventus-Stuttgart.
Calciomercato report that this morning, Douglas Luiz arrived at JMedical to undergo instrumental examinations to determine the extent of his muscular injury. The results of these tests will be crucial in assessing his availability for the upcoming match against Inter. The situation looks less promising for other key players, as Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez are likely to miss the Inter match due to their respective injuries. Their absence could significantly impact Juventus’ tactical approach and overall performance in this crucial Serie A encounter.
The potential absence of these players poses a significant challenge for Juventus as they prepare to face their rivals Inter Milan. The match at San Siro is always a high-stakes affair, and being short-handed could put Juventus at a disadvantage.
