“After a right thigh problem, I was able to start training with the team this week and had great hopes of starting tonight’s Derby against Torino.
“Unfortunately, it went differently. In Thursday’s training session, I hurt the muscle that had already been torn, so I cannot play for the next few weeks.
“I am extremely disappointed. At the same time, I will do everything to repay the faith that my club put in me.
“Everyone welcomed me very cordially. Even if I don’t understand everything – despite my language studies – I am very pleased to be part of this ambitious squad.
“I want to give my contribution so that Juve will have success in every competition this season!”
