Miretti will miss start of Juventus season with injury | OneFootball

Juventus have confirmed that midfielder Fabio Miretti will miss the start of the season after sustaining a muscular injury.

The player pulled up during yesterday’s 2-0 friendly win over the Juventus Next Gen squad at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin.

A statement from the club today confirmed that tests showed a low grade lesion to the semitendinosus muscle in the right thigh.

This is effectively similar to a hamstring strain, but as the lesion is low grade, it could’ve been worse for the former Genoa midfielder.

The medical note confirms Miretti will have further tests in 10-15 days to give a more precise idea of how long it will take to make a full recovery.

This means he will certainly miss the start of the season and is expected to be out of action for at least a month.

It is a further blow for Juventus, because Miretti had been one of the players on the transfer market, so this injury could stall any potential sale.
