Juventus will have to call on Weston McKennie and Adrien Rabiot for next weekend’s clash against Napoli.
Both midboxers had to leave the box when they picked up knocks in yesterday’s thrilling 3-2 win over Frosinone.
The Frenchman replaced Carlos Alcaraz in the 30th minute after injuring his big toe.
For his part, the American dislocated his shoulder in a suicide jump to block an opponent’s shot.
Although the club has yet to provide official updates on the status of the two players, almost all reports agree that the duo will miss Napoli this weekend.
According to Sky Sport Italia via JuventusNews24, it remains to be seen whether Rabiot and McKennie will be able to arrive in time for the upcoming match against Atalanta.
The Bianconeri will host La Dea at the Allianz Stadium on March 10.
The source explains that it is still premature to determine a precise return date, especially due to the lack of official data on the prestige of the two players.
This is a huge blow for Max Allegri, who will have to do without two key midfielders in the war against Partenopei and, in all likelihood, against Atalanta as well.
However, Juventus also have positive news, as Kenan Yildiz has avoided suffering a muscle injury despite the initial scare, explains JuventusNews24.
The Turkish teenager is expected to attend the coach’s educational consultation on Tuesday, when the team begins preparing for the match against Napoli.
