Dusan Vlahovic, bad news for Spalletti: AC Milan now moving away

New injury for Dusan Vlahovic. Juventus’ Serbian striker has suffered a low-grade injury to his soleus, after the problem suffered in his left calf during the warm-up of Monday night’s match against Genoa. Recovery time is estimated at around 20 days: he will probably miss the matches against Atalanta and Bologna and is unlikely to be available for the April 26 away match against AC Milan. The return seems more realistic for the beginning of May, when he plays against Verona.

No injury, on the other hand, for Mattia Perin, who was forced to leave the field at halftime due to a right calf discomfort. It is only a slight problem: he will be monitored day by day and will try to return to training with the group during the week. If the answers are positive, he could already be available for Saturday night’s match in Bergamo against Atalanta. If not, Di Gregorio, who has already given encouraging signs by saving Martin’s penalty in the match against Genoa, is ready.

The success over Genoa that boosts Juventus’ ambitions to qualify for the next Champions League (fourth-placed Como is now only one point away) does not seem to be enough for Luciano Spalletti meanwhile. The Tuscan coach focused on his side’s decline in the final part of the Turin game, admitting that he is still struggling to decipher his team’s real value.

“We are not struggling with fatigue, absolutely. Also because both yesterday and the day before yesterday we didn’t train – Spalletti complained in an interview for ‘Sky Sport’ – There was catching up to do, so I left the boys alone by giving them two days off. It happens that we have to accept an inferior version of ourselves, but it has to be said that after 6-7 months at Juventus I’m still not sure what I’m dealing with. Because, after a first half like that, you can’t play a second half like that.”
