Juve, injury for Kaio Jorge: there is fear of injury to the patellar tendon and a long stop

It is an unfortunate moment for Juve. After McKennie Alex Sandro also stops: instrumental tests have shown a low-grade lesion of the soleus muscle of the left leg, it will be re-evaluated in ten days. Hours of anxiety also for Kaio Jorge: there is a fear of a patellar tendon injury in the right knee, therefore a long stop. The Brazilian remained on the ground after hurting his right knee in a game clash during the Serie C match between the Juventus Under 23 and Pro Patria. Not being called up against Villarreal as he was not included in the Champions list, it was decided to send him to play with the Second team: his match at Moccagatta in Alessandria, however, lasted only twenty-four minutes. The exit on a stretcher in tears was not very encouraging, the outcome of the exams is now awaited to understand the real extent of the injury.
