Samuel Iling-Junior will not return for Juventus until after the World Cup in Qatar due to a slight ankle injury.
The English teenager joined the Bianconeri in September 2020 from Chelsea’s youth system in a deal worth around €130,000, signing a three-year contract.
Iling-Junior was handed his first team debut in the win over Empoli but truly emerged in the 4-3 Champions League loss to Benfica, providing an assist in his 20 minutes on the pitch. The 19-year-old provided another assist against Lecce yesterday.
As announced by Juventus, Iling-Junior underwent a round of medical tests this morning to examine the contusion injury to his right ankle. The tests confirmed that he hadn’t suffered a fracture and he’s expected to be ruled out of action for around 20 days.
With the World Cup break starting on November 14, Iling-Junior will have to wait until 2023 to return to action for Juventus. It’s a frustrating injury for the teenager, who was just starting to break into Massimiliano Allegri’s first team in Turin.

Prefer an Italian player.
Tie him down.
Could be another Coman situation in the making.
