Juventus’ Vlahovic faces a long spell with a groin injury

Dusan Vlahovic will be out of action well into the new year after Juventus said on Monday that the Serbian forward had suffered a groin injury during last weekend’s 2-1 win over Cagliari.

Vlahovic was forced off the field in the first half of Saturday’s win in Turin, and Juve said tests carried out on Monday had revealed a «high-grade injury» to a muscle in his left groin.

“Further medical consultation will be required to determine the most appropriate treatment,” the club added.

Italian media report that Vlahovic will not be back before February next year.

Vlahovic has scored six times for Juve this season: three times in Serie A and three times in the Champions League.

The 25-year-old had reclaimed his place as a starting striker in the past month after Juve tried to fire him in the summer, as his contract expires at the end of this season.

Now managed by former Italy coach Luciano Spalletti, Juve sit seventh in Italy’s top flight, five points behind leaders AC Milan and Napoli.
