Dusan Vlahovic will undergo further medical tests in the coming days, but Juventus hope to see him return to action against Lecce this weekend, while Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz are not expected to recover.
Juventus travelled to Birmingham for a Champions League game against Aston Villa with just 17 players available, including their best scorer, Vlahovic.
The Old Lady will return to action on Sunday in an away game at Lecce, and according to Ilbianconero.com, there is confidence that Vlahovic will also return to action at the Via Del Mare.

Arkadiusz Milik will resume training in mid-December, and Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal will remain out for several months with knee injuries.
