Breaking: Barzagli to skip Juventus-Tottenham
The Bianconeri legend did not take part in today’s training session due to a muscular problem in his right calf. It is only a bruise rather than a strain, explain medics, but the veteran defender is still a major doubt for the match.
From the official press release:
Andrea Barzagli trained separately after reporting irritation in his right calf muscle, which tests held today at J Medical revealed was due to an oedema in his soleus muscle.
The reigning Champions League runners-up will be without Barzagli, Juan Cuadrado, Douglas Costa, Blaise Matuidi, and, most likely, Paulo Dybala.
Manager Massamiliano Allegri will need to rely on a number of substitutes to ensure Juventus passes the Premier League giants.
