Juventus have confirmed that defender Alex Sandro has been ruled out for at least six weeks after picking up an injury in training. The Bianconeri announced that the Brazilian centre-back has a medium-grade lesion of the hamstring of the left thigh.
The club stated that ‘the player has already started the rehabilitation process and will repeat the instrumental tests in 15 days to define his recovery time more precisely.’
The resulting injury is expected to keep Sandro on the sidelines for around six weeks, meaning Juve are likely to give young talent Dean Huijsen a chance to play in the starting XI at some point.
