Juventus continue to closely monitor Dusan Vlahovic’s condition as they prepare for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Aston Villa. However, the latest updates from the Continassa training ground are not encouraging.
Calciomercato report how In this morning’s session, the Serbian striker once again trained separately from the main group, indicating a cautious approach to his recovery from the muscle injury sustained during international duty.
The Juventus medical staff’s primary objective is clear: to avoid any risk that could compromise Vlahovic’s full physical efficiency. Although medical tests have ruled out any serious lesions, the delicate nature of the muscle problem calls for prudence, especially considering the lack of alternative options in the squad.
After missing the high-profile Serie A match against AC Milan, Vlahovic’s participation in the upcoming Champions League fixture remains in doubt. The forward continues to work individually on the field to regain his fitness and confidence, but he has not trained with his teammates since before the international break.
This situation presents a significant challenge for Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who must now consider alternative tactical approaches for the crucial match against Aston Villa. The absence of Vlahovic, Juventus’s top scorer this season, could force the team to adapt their offensive strategy, potentially relying on other players to step up in his absence.
