Juventus’ left-back, Andrea Cambiaso, will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Manchester City due to an injury sustained during the Serie A clash with Bologna on Saturday night.
Cambiaso was forced to leave the field in the first half after twisting his ankle.
He underwent instrumental examinations at J|Medical on Sunday morning, confirming a slight capsular ligamentous sprain of the left ankle.
The prognosis suggests that while the injury isn’t severe, it is enough to keep him out of the crucial upcoming match.
Juventus fans and the club’s medical team are holding their breath as Cambiaso’s condition will be monitored on a daily basis.
The team will need to adapt without one of their key defensive players, especially in a high-stakes game against Manchester City.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Juventus, who are already dealing with a series of injuries and a need to solidify their performance in both domestic and European competitions.
Cambiaso’s absence adds to the list of concerns for coach Thiago Motta as they prepare for the match, which is set to take place this Wednesday.
As Juventus eyes recovery for Cambiaso, the immediate focus shifts to strategizing without him against one of the toughest opponents in the Champions League.
The team will need to rally together to compensate for this unexpected setback.
