Juventus’ injury crisis has taken another turn for the worse as Nicolò Savona becomes the ninth player to join the club’s list of injured stars. The right-back experienced muscular discomfort during the second half of Juventus’ goalless draw against Aston Villa in the Champions League.
Calciomercato report how Manager Thiago Motta was forced to substitute Savona in the 66th minute, bringing on Brazilian defender Danilo. This latest setback adds to an already lengthy injury list that includes Adzic, Bremer, Cabal, Douglas Luiz, Nico Gonzalez, McKennie, Milik, and Vlahovic.
Savona is set to undergo medical examinations at the J-Medical facility in Turin to determine the exact nature and severity of his injury. However, there is a glimmer of hope emerging from Villa Park, with sources suggesting a cautiously optimistic outlook on the player’s condition. It appears that Savona may have stopped playing in time to prevent a more serious injury.
The growing number of injuries poses a significant challenge for Juventus as they navigate through a crucial period in both domestic and European competitions.
