Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz has suffered a muscle injury and will be forced to sit out the highly anticipated clash against Inter Milan.
After starting in the Champions League match against PSV, According to Ilbianconero,the Brazilian has now been sidelined due to a muscular problem. His condition and recovery timeline remain under evaluation.
An update from Continassa has confirmed that Douglas Luiz picked up a muscle strain during training yesterday. While the injury is not considered serious, it is enough to rule him out of Sunday night’s crucial Serie A showdown against Inter Milan. This comes at a time when he was beginning to find consistency in the squad.
Juventus will have to face Simone Inzaghi’s Inter without Douglas Luiz, but the main concern is whether he will recover in time for the second leg of the Champions League playoffs against PSV next Wednesday.
At this moment, the former Aston Villa midfielder is considered doubtful for the European clash. The club’s medical staff will assess him daily, and his return will largely depend on how he feels in the coming days.
Juventus will take extra precautions before allowing Douglas Luiz back onto the field, especially considering his past injury history. In October, he suffered a similar issue that kept him out for several weeks despite no structural damage being detected in medical tests.
The club is adopting a cautious approach to avoid further setbacks. This injury is undoubtedly a frustrating blow for the Brazilian, especially after his strong performance against PSV just a few days ago.
