Juventus star Angel Di Maria was subbed off in the second half of their opening Serie A game against Sassuolo with a suspected adductor injury.
The Argentinean star had repeatedly been touching his left adductor before being subbed off after 65 minutes at the Allianz Stadium. He will likely undergo medical examination tomorrow.
Di Maria had broken the deadlock in the first half with a left-foot volley and delivered the assist for Dusan Vlahovic’s second goal.
