Juventus faced a moment of truth as Dusan Vlahovic returned to Turin for medical examinations at J-Medical following a muscular issue in his left thigh during Serbia’s match against Denmark. The striker left the field in the closing minutes of the international fixture, prompting immediate concern from the Juventus camp.
The official statement from Juventus revealed that diagnostic tests conducted on November 19 have ruled out any lesions. However, the club announced that Vlahovic’s condition will be monitored daily, suggesting a cautious approach to his recovery.
Despite the absence of serious injury, Vlahovic’s availability for Juventus’ upcoming crucial fixtures remains in doubt. The medical visit, which lasted less than 40 minutes, has left uncertainty regarding his recovery timeline.
Two significant matches are now in jeopardy for Vlahovic:
1. Serie A Clash: The high-profile encounter against AC Milan at San Siro, scheduled for Saturday at 18:00.
2. Champions League Fixture: The away game against Aston Villa in Birmingham.
Juventus are taking a conservative stance, prioritizing the player’s full recovery over rushing him back into action. This approach suggests that Vlahovic is unlikely to feature in the Milan match and remains doubtful for the Champions League game.
