medium-degree injury to the left thigh, stop for at least one month – Corriere.it

Juve without peace and without Milik for 30-40 days. As if the 15-point penalty in the standings and the collapse on Sunday against Monza weren’t enough, now the injury problem is back. Allegri in fact loses the Polish centre-forward due to a medium-grade lesion of the semimembranosus muscle of the left thigh. In two weeks – the Juventus club explains in a note – he will be subjected to new checks to define exactly the recovery times.

The absence will be at least a month, but could also prove to be longer up to six weeks. Milik will therefore certainly miss next Thursday’s match against Lazio in the Italian Cup, the two Europa League playoff matches against Nantes and the championship matches against Salernitana, Fiorentina, Spezia, Turin and Rome. The first useful date to hypothesize a return is March 12 with Sampdoria but the horizons will be clearer in a fortnight.

One more problem for Juve who will have to do without the striker so far more continuous and incisive in the season with 8 goals in 23 appearances. Now it will be Vlahovic’s turn, for still short of condition after three months of groin pain, and Kean, always too much talent on the swing and loudly contested by the Stadium against Monza. But Allegri also hopes for the growth of Chiesa and Di Maria.
