Unfortunately for Dusan Vlahovic, he has been dealing with a pubic problem that has been weighing on his fitness and preventing him from showing his best.
According to Sky Sport via JuventusNews24, the Serbian will remain in Turin this midweek while his teammates travel to Cremona for the first match of 2023.
But despite missing the Cremonese encounter, the striker is hell-bent on making a quick return to action. The source believes the 22-year-old is working to make himself available for the game against Udinese on Saturday.
It is particularly important that Vlahovic feature against Zebrette at the weekend, even if he only comes on as a late substitute, because this would be the club’s last game before the main clash against Napoli on January 13.
Therefore, the former Fiorentina man will be keen to show some improvement this weekend in order to compete for a starting spot at the Estadio Maradona next week.
Despite being absent for the last few games before the winter break, Vlahovic remains the club’s top scorer so far this season. He found the back of the net six times in his 10 Serie A appearances. He also has a goal to his name in six Champions League outings.
