Juventus have been hit with another setback as Timothy Weah, a versatile and crucial player for the Bianconeri, has been sidelined due to a thigh injury. The American winger sustained the injury during the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, adding to the club’s growing list of injured players in what has been a challenging season for the Turin giants.
The club’s official website released a statement confirming the extent of Weah’s injury: “Following the muscular problem experienced last night in the Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, Timothy Weah underwent clinical and instrumental examinations this morning at J|Medical, which revealed a low-grade lesion of the biceps femoris in his right thigh.”
This news comes as a significant blow to Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who has already been grappling with numerous long-term injuries to key players throughout the season. Weah’s absence will be keenly felt, given his ability to play multiple positions and his importance to the team’s tactical flexibility.
According to initial reports, Weah is expected to miss the upcoming Serie A fixtures against Monza and Fiorentina. The Juventus medical staff is now working diligently to ensure the American international can return to action for the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against AC Milan, scheduled for January 3rd.
This match against their fierce rivals Milan represents a crucial opportunity for Juventus to secure silverware this season, making Weah’s potential return for this fixture all the more significant. As the team navigates through this injury-plagued period, Motta will need to rely on the depth of his squad to maintain Juventus’ competitive edge in both domestic and cup competitions.
