Vlahovic and Calhanoglu Ruled Out and More Injury News

Dusan Vlahovic has avoided significant thigh problems after subbing off early in the most recent Serbia game. However, he won’t be available against Milan and potentially versus Aston Villa too. Coach Thiago Motta announced it in the pre-game presser.

“In addition to him, Nicolas Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Juan Cabal, Gleison Bremer, and Vasilije Adzic will be sidelined. We hope to have him back as soon as possible. We don’t know if he’ll return against Aston Villa.” “We’ve talked, and I trust all my guys, including him. I know they’ll all do the offensive and the defensive phase. It’s a must here. The others are taking the necessary time to be back with the squad. Injuries are part of the game, and it was Dusan’s turn this time. We’ll play our match, implementing what suits us the most and the opponents the least.”

While Juventus won’t have Vlahovic, Milan will be in full force, as Matteo Gabbia has recovered from a calf strain, Sky relays. Hakan Calhanoglu escaped without a thigh lesion after bowing out in a Turkey game. Further tests confirmed the positive news, but he’ll be out against Verona anyway, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Claudio Ranieri commented on Paulo Dybala ahead of the Napoli game (via SOSFanta).

“I’ve seen him today for the first 20 minutes. I don’t know how much he has to practice to be available. We have to help him. If he has an ailment, then it has to be resolved. If the exams don’t see anything, then we have to examine further why he’s in pain. He’s always upbeat, but I’d rather not risk my players. I would rather lose them for one game than for a month.”
