Low-grade muscle injuries for Timothy Weah and Khephren Thuram. The day after the great victory against Como, a positive debut in the championship for the Juventus by Thiago Motta, the first tentative news for the Bianconeri has arrived from the infirmary. The two sons of art, protagonists of two excellent performances against the Lariani, have in fact left the field early: Weah remained in the locker room halfway through the match, shortly after scoring Juventus’ second goal with a nice long-range shot validated by the “goal line technology”, while Thuram was replaced in the second half by Fagioli. For both, the tests carried out this morning at J Medical have given a response that effectively removes them from the players available for the next match at the Bentegodi with Verona.
