Juventus, the emergency continues: even Nicolo Savona raises the white flag

Thiago Motta also loses Nicolò Savona

Another name is added to the already large list of unavailable players in the Juventus household ahead of Sunday night’s away match against Lecce: this time è Nicolò Savona to raise the white flag, due to an adductor problem felt during the match drawn 0-0 by the Bianconeri against Aston Villa in the Champions League.

"Nicolò Savona, following the right adductor discomfort felt during the second half of the Champions League match against Aston Villa, è underwent examinations today, Nov. 28, – reads Juventus official channels -. Instrumental examinations have ruled out injuries and his condition will be evaluated in the coming days".

Against the Salentini, therefore, Thiago Motta will also have to do without the young lateral, one of the positive surprises of this beginning of the season. A knock that will be added to those of Bremer and Cabal, stopped for the whole season, in addition to those of Milik (who will probably return at the beginning of 2025) and those on the mend of Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Weston McKennie and Dusan Vlahovic.

The Bianconeri are sixth in the league, -4 from Napoli, and nineteenth in the Champions League, -2 from eighth place, the last one useful to go directly to the round of 16.
