Juventus have been plagued by injuries for much of this season and Samuel Iling-Junior has joined the ever-growing list.
Max Allegri’s men have been missing key players for several weeks this term and not a month seems to go by without a member of the squad sustaining at least one minor injury.
Iling-Junior has outperformed for the team in the last two games despite not starting.
Yesterday he was substituted against Lecce and played a key role in Juve’s winning goal.
Having only played around 20 minutes, he was not expected to suffer any injuries.
However, the club has confirmed through Calciomercato that he is injured and will be out for about two weeks.
The statement throughout the report says:
“Samuel Iling-Junior, after the blunt force trauma/sprain of the right ankle reported yesterday, was submitted this morning to the J | Medical to radiological examinations that exclude fractures: about 20 days for the complete recovery of him”.
Juve FC says
Iling-Junior’s injury is a blow to us because he has been in good form lately and looks to be the next standout from the Next Gen team to earn a first team spot.
We wish him a speedy recovery and he will certainly have more chances for the senior team when he is fit again.
