Andrea Barzagli suffers calf injury

Andrea Barzagli has suffered an injury in his right calf which forced him to leave training early. Juventus have confirmed he will not feature versus Sassuolo on Sunday and his condition will be re-evaluated in the upcoming days.

Hopefully it’s nothing serious and he can be restored back into the team soon. On the bright side, we have enough depth at center back. While it seems as Chiellini/Bonucci will continue to start games together as the season goes on.

Juventus will play the first UCL match of the season next Wednesday against a stubborn side in Valencia. Even if they aren’t one of Europe’s elite, they should not be underestimated. They have had a poor start to the season losing two games and drawing in the other. As we all know, some teams try even harder when it comes to Europe’s most elite competition. With the amount of experience Barzagli has, it will be important to have him available if the need arises next week.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Barzagli!
