Juventus’ midfield injury crisis continues ahead of the Manchester United game, as Blaise Matuidi didn’t train yesterday.
Sami Khedira has been out with a muscular injury in recent weeks, while Emre Can is also sidelined after surgery on a thyroid nodule.
That leaves Miralem Pjanic, Rodrigo Bentancur and Matuidi as the Bianconeri’s only central midfielders, but the Frenchman missed training yesterday with bruising he sustained in the win over Cagliari.

That leaves Miralem Pjanic, Rodrigo Bentancur and Matuidi as the Bianconeri’s only central midfielders, but the Frenchman missed training yesterday with bruising he sustained in the win over Cagliari.
While the World Cup winner still has three days to recover for the Champions League tie, he’s a slight doubt to play in Turin.
Douglas Costa also missed training and “underwent physiotherapy treatments for a muscular problem in his left adductors”, with Mario Mandzukic doing only part of the session with his teammates “due to the recurrence of an ankle problem”.
Federico Bernardeschi and Giorgio Chiellini are following personalised programmes, with the Manchester United game to come on Wednesday.
