Juventus sweat over Nico Gonzalez’s fitness as their winger was subbed off in the second half of Argentina’s 3-0 win over Chile last night due to an injury.
Nico was subbed off at minute 51. It was initially thought that he had suffered a muscle injury, but according to several sources, including DAZN, the ex-Fiorentina winger is dealing with an ankle issue.
Juventus star Nico Gonzalez injured on Argentina international duty
It remains to be seen if the Argentinean will return to Turin immediately or stay with his national team until the next game against Colombia on Tuesday, September 10.
At the end of the match, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said it was too early to know whether Nico would be fit for the upcoming international fixture.
Nico, 26, made his Juventus debut on Sunday, coming off the bench as a substitute in a 0-0 draw against Roma.
Juventus must already cope without another new signing, Francisco Conceiçao, who has suffered a muscle injury and will remain out of action for one month.
