Juventus face a new concern as their star striker Dusan Vlahovic suffered an injury during international duty with Serbia. The incident occurred during Serbia’s final Nations League match against Denmark, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Vlahovic was forced to request a substitution in the 88th minute due to a muscular problem, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming high-profile match between Juventus and AC Milan.
Calciomercato report how the Serbian forward’s injury adds to the growing list of concerns for Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who is already grappling with a significant injury crisis within the squad. Vlahovic’s potential absence could be a major blow for the team as they prepare for this crucial Serie A encounter.
The injury occurred shortly after Vlahovic narrowly missed an opportunity to score the winning goal, which would have secured Serbia’s qualification for the tournament’s final phase. At the 88-minute mark, he suddenly stopped playing and sat down on the pitch, prompting immediate attention from the national team’s medical staff.
What’s particularly worrying for Juventus supporters is the manner in which Vlahovic left the field. He was seen limping slightly and holding the flexor of his left thigh, suggesting a possible issue with his hamstring. With only five days remaining until the big match against AC Milan, Vlahovic’s participation is now in serious doubt.
This injury setback comes at a critical time for Juventus, as they aim to maintain their competitive edge in the Serie A title race.
