Juventus defender set to miss upcoming UEFA Champions League playoff

Andrea Cambiaso was once again unavailable for Juventus’ recent match against Como. The young full-back has been struggling with an ankle issue that has been bothering him for the past two months.

Despite the injury, he had initially returned to action after a short absence, but unfortunately, the problem resurfaced, forcing him to stop playing again.

This setback comes at a crucial time for Juventus, as the team prepares for a demanding schedule in the coming days. Cambiaso, who remained at Juventus despite strong interest from Manchester City during the transfer window, will need to focus on his recovery to be available for key upcoming matches.

Juventus is about to enter a crucial 10-day period filled with high-stakes matches. On Tuesday, the Bianconeri will host PSV Eindhoven at the Allianz Stadium for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff. The return leg is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19, in the Netherlands.

Between these two decisive European matches, Juventus will face a major Serie A showdown against Inter Milan. This match is considered a pivotal moment in the title race, making Cambiaso’s potential availability even more important for the team.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Ilbianconero), Cambiaso will not recover in time for the first leg against PSV. However, Juventus is working hard to have him available for the league match against Inter Milan.
