According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus striker Vlahovic will not be able to play in the next few weeks due to a recurrent groin injury and will miss Juve’s key battle against Naples on January 13.
Vlahovic, who has been suffering from groin pain for the past few months, has been training alone and will not take part in Juve’s warm-up match against Standard Liege tomorrow. In fact, the Serbian’s injury is more serious than expected. He will not only miss the second half of the league against Cremona on January 4, but will not even take part in the crucial game against Naples on January 13.
The exact timing of his comeback will depend on the treatment in the next few weeks, but it is certain that Vlahovic will not return in the short term, and the last time he played the full 90 minutes for Juve was in the derby against Turin on October 15. Vlahovic scored the winning goal in that game and has been suffering from groin pain ever since.
Because of the thorny groin injury, Vlahovic decided to adopt a more cautious training plan after communicating with Allegri and the Juventus medical team, that is, his recovery time will be extended and the club does not want to take any more risks. instead, it decided to wait for the player to make a full recovery.
