Vlahovic and Savona could leave Juventus for Lecce with 13 outfielders

Vlahovic and Savona could leave Juventus for Lecce with 13 outfielders

Dusan Vlahovic remains a major doubt for Juventus ahead of their Serie A away game against Lecce on Sunday, while Nicolo Savona is likely to miss out after suffering minor injury concerns in the 0-0 Champions League draw with Aston Villa.

If Vlahovic remains unavailable this weekend and Savona is unavailable, Juventus will only have 13 outfield players available for their league game this weekend.

According to updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Vlahovic was training individually again on Friday. He has not played for the Bianconeri first team since the injury he sustained while playing for Serbia.

Meanwhile, Savona had his adductors medically examined after Wednesday’s Aston Villa trip. A serious injury has been ruled out, but La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that he will miss the next week of action as a precautionary measure.

Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie are expected to return against Bologna on Thursday, but are also expected to miss the game against Lecce.

Juventus will also be without Nico Gonzalez, Bremer, Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Vasilije Adzic.
