Last Thursday, Brazil opened their World Cup campaign with a victory over Serbia thanks to a personal brace from Richarlison.
While everyone is concerned about the condition of Neymar, who suffered a knock during the match, Juventus are worried about one of their own.
At the end of the match, Danilo was visibly sore, but still had to push himself until the final whistle.
However, it looks like the versatile defender will miss the next two group stage matches against Switzerland and Cameroon, if not more.
The Brazilian team has published a statement in which it offers updates on the status of the 31-year-old player after his latest medical visits.
“The medical visits revealed the ligament injury in Danilo’s left ankle and the need for further treatment,” the statement reads according to ilBianconero.
“We will do daily evaluations and other insights to make the best decision.”
The source adds that Juventus are closely monitoring the situation of their new vice-captain, who has become a crucial pawn in Max Allegri’s tactical line-up.
The Selecao squad also features two other bianconeri defenders in Alex Sandro and Gleison Bremer. While the left-back started against Serbia, the centre-back appears to be a back-up for the long-standing partnership of Thiago Silva and Marquinhos.
