Juventus' Vlahovic Sidelined with Serious Thigh Injury

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic suffers a significant thigh injury, sidelining him after the weekend's victory over Cagliari. Examinations revealed a high-grade muscle-tendon junction injury. The club awaits further consultations for treatment. Juventus, currently seventh, aims to close the gap with Serie A leader Inter Milan.

Juventus announced Monday that striker Dusan Vlahovic is out with a significant thigh injury following the team's recent victory over Cagliari.

The Serbia international was substituted just 30 minutes into the match, and subsequent tests confirmed a high-grade injury to his left adductor longus muscle.

Vlahovic's performances had been instrumental to Juventus' recent unbeaten streak, and the club now faces the challenge of closing a five-point gap with Serie A leader Inter Milan without him.
