Juventus defender Nicolo Savona does not play further in the World Cup Club after he had sustained an ankle injury during the 5-2 loss of his side against Manchester City, the Italian club said on Friday, with the player more than a month on the sidelines.
The 22-year-old Italian had started with all three group matches for Juventus, but left the field the hour after his ankle in the heavy defeat on Thursday and he was replaced by Federico Gatti.
Juventus reported that Savona underwent diagnostic tests on his left ankle, which showed a high -quality capsular ligament injury. The player started his rehabilitation process and will be evaluated again in a month.
The loss for the city meant that Juventus finished second in group G and will be confronted with Real Madrid in the last 16 on Tuesday in Miami. Gatti, who has also replaced Savona in Juve’s opening victory over Al Ain, is most likely to be pressed in Igor Tudor’s back.
