Juventus star duo suffer injury blow ahead of Tottenham clash

  • Lorenzo Bettoni at the Allianz Stadium
Juventus could be without Blaise Matuidi and Andrea Barzagli for their upcoming Champions League clash against Tottenham.

Both bianconeri stars picked up an injury on Sunday afternoon.  The Italian defender was ruled out of the Sassuolo clash a few minutes before the kick off whilst Matuidi was replaced by Claudio Marchisio in the 25th minute of play.

​Barzagli was diagnosed with a calf injury which can usually take between two weeks and two months for a complete recovery.

​Matuidi has just been replaced by Max Allegri here at the Allianz Stadium and a medical report regarding the physical conditions of the former Psg ace should be submitted by Juventus later today.

​Juventus will face Tottenham on the 13th of February without Juan Cuadrado, whilst Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa could recover for the upcoming Champions League clash.

Juventus are leading 3-0 against Sassuolo ten minutes before the half time whistle.

UPDATE: Daniele Rugani also picked up an injury before half time and was replaced by Medhi Benatia.
