Injury crisis looms over Juventus ahead of Lazio clash | OneFootball

With the Bianconeri set to face Lazio Saturday evening in match-week 8 of the Serie A, a grave injury crisis is looming over Juventus, leaving coach Thiago Motta with every few attacking options.

TMW reports that Argentine Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to miss out on the match against the Biancocelesti, as well as the Champions League clash against Stuttgart as the former Fiorentina winger suffered a muscular injury while on international duty.

In addition, Weston McKennie suffered a muscular strain on the left thigh, ruling him out of the upcoing fixture against coach Paolo Baroni’s side.

Furthermore, star-midfielder Teun Koopmeiners is expected to miss out on the match against the capital club due to having suffered a fractured rib.

Giovanni Albanese states that if the Dutchman is not able to take part in coach Motta’s selection against Lazio, then it is expected that either Italian international Nicolo Fagioli or Turkish rising star Kenan Yildiz will play as the “trequartista” in-behind Dusan Vlahovic.
