Juve, Zakaria injured misses Fiorentina. Midfield in emergency

Denis Zakaria also stops, the number of Juve players unavailable rises to nine. The Swiss midfielder stopped during the first half in Empoli, the problem in the adductor region of the left thigh will be better evaluated in the next few hours with instrumental tests but the first feeling is that the stop could be about two weeks. He will certainly miss Fiorentina in the Italian Cup, in the sights of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 with Villarreal. Just lost McKennie too, only Arthur, Locatelli and Rabiot remain in midfield.

WHEN OTHERS RE-ENTER

–

The Juventus infirmary is full: it is no coincidence that Allegri has taken some young players from the second team with him. While waiting to evaluate Bernardeschi again (struggling with an inflammation near the pubis) the only one who hopes to make himself available for the next match with Fiorentina is Paulo Dybala, stopped during the derby by an elongation of the semitendinosus muscle of the left thigh . Daniele Rugani’s return to the Coppa Italia is more difficult, as he sees it with an elongation of the hamstring of the left thigh. Appointment next season for Federico Chiesa (fracture of the cruciate) and for Kaio Jorge (rupture of the patellar tendon), while Weston McKennie – who broke the second and third metatarsal of his left foot – hopes to see the field again in May. The other stopped in the pits is Alex Sandro: in a week he will be evaluated again to understand when he will be able to definitively absorb the low-grade lesion of the soleus muscle of the left leg.
