Juventus to investigate injury crisis during World Cup break

Juventus are unhappy with the high number of injuries this season and are reportedly planning an internal investigation during the World Cup break.

The Bianconeri have suffered from a serious injury problem for the entirety of this season, regularly being without key stars like Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria, Manuel Locatelli and Dusan Vlahovic. Massimiliano Allegri referenced this situation earlier in the campaign, calling it a ‘virtual Juventus’ with all the various absences.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pavel Nedved and Maurizio Arrivabene have announced that an investigation will be held during the World Cup break to establish the causes of the injury crisis.

Various elements will be closely examined, from the playing fields of Continassa to the players’ diets, with a particular focus being paid to Allegri’s historic athletic trainer Simone Folletti. The club’s medical staff will also be looked at, with Juventus desperate to find the source of the issues as soon as possible.
