Juventus’ injury concerns continue to mount as they prepare for their upcoming match against Lazio. Following the already confirmed absences of Nico Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer, Teun Koopmeiners, and Weston McKennie, Sky Sport Italia report that manager Thiago Motta now faces the possibility of being without Nicolò Fagioli as well.
The 23-year-old Italian midfielder picked up a knock while on international duty with the Azzurri and has not been training with his teammates at Continassa. This development puts Fagioli’s participation in Saturday’s crucial Serie A fixture in serious doubt.
The match, scheduled for October 19th at the Allianz Stadium, is a significant test for Juventus as they look to maintain their position near the top of the table. Lazio, under the guidance of Marco Baroni, will be eager to capitalize on Juventus’ injury crisis.
Fagioli’s potential absence would be a significant blow to Motta’s midfield options, which are already stretched thin due to the other injuries. The young Italian has been a key player for Juventus this season, impressing with his technical skills and vision in the middle of the park.
With the mounting injury list, Motta may be forced to reshuffle his lineup and tactics for the Lazio match. The situation could provide opportunities for some of Juventus’ younger talents to step up and make their mark in a high-profile fixture.
