Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain has reportedly been ruled out of the return leg against Milan in the Coppa Italia, struggling with a muscle injury.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that the Bianconeri striker must wait for his return to the pitch, as he’s the latest in line of a long list of injuries in Serie A since the resumption of activities.
The long break has caused some concern among football medics and another muscle problem for Higuain follows injury scares to high profiled players like Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Higuain’s problem shouldn’t rule him out for long, but the newspaper claims he will definitely sit out the semi-final against his former team.
Milan held the Old Lady to a 1-1 draw in the first leg at San Siro and on June 12, the two sides meet again in the first game after three months of suspended play in Italy.
Higuain’s future with the Bianconeri is still uncertain, but the 32-year-old has reportedly been told by coach Maurizio Sarri to focus on helping Juve end the season on a high before addressing his own future.
