Juventus fear Manuel Locatelli has meniscus problem, could undergo surgery

Juventus fear Manuel Locatelli has meniscus problem, could undergo surgery Serie A side Juventus held Milan to a 1-1 draw against Milan yesterday. Manuel Locatelli captained the side and featured significantly in the tie but doubts are growing about his fitness. The Italian faced knee problems in the game against the Rossoneri and there is growing concern in Turin if this could be serious. Tuttomercatoweb note that he complained about a pain on his right knee and the Juventus medical staff are keeping a close eye on the situation. Romeo Agresti has relayed similar information, clarifying that Locatelli will undergo a medical test later in the day. This will offer more on his injury and if it is serious by any means. Corriere dello Sport offer some bad news of their own, noting that Juve are concerned Locatelli has a meniscus. They are also certain he will be out of action, for now and there is also a chance he could undergo surgery. If not that, he will have conservative therapy, amidst hope that it resolves the issue. The news however, comes at a bad time for Juve, with Khephren Thuram likely to return in 2027. But this could also give a chance to Andrea Cambiaso to return to prominence. If not that, it can hand a big opportunity to new signing Pape Sarr, who didn’t feature against Milan. Kaustubh Pandey – GIFN
