Juventus have officially confirmed that Stephan Lichtsteiner will not be fit to face Sevilla.
The Bianconeri face the Spanish side in the Champions League tomorrow night, but will have to do it without their first-choice right-back.
“Stephan Lichtsteiner will miss out on tomorrow evening’s Champions League Group D fixture with Sevilla,” the Old Lady confirmed in a statement.
“Despite returning to the group and training regularly yesterday, the Swiss defender will now be sent to undergo further tests and specialist cardiology consultancy on the advice of the Juventus medical team.
“These will aim to fully ascertain the symptoms that caused him to depart last Wednesday’s Serie A fixture with Frosinone at half-time.”
The Swiss international was substituted with breathing difficulties against the Canarini, and has not featured since.
It’s a blow for Juve, as another right-back option, Martin Caceres, is suspended from first-team duty after crashing his Ferrari in Turin last night.
