Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic has been sidelined after sustaining a muscular overload in the rectus femoris of his right thigh during the recent match against Parma. The Serbian striker, who started the game at Stadio Tardini, was substituted at halftime due to discomfort in his right leg.
Medical Assessment and Diagnosis
Following the match, Vlahovic underwent diagnostic examinations at the JMedical facility in Turin. The tests confirmed a muscular overload in his right thigh. Juventus has announced that his condition will be monitored daily, with the medical team providing regular updates on his recovery progress.
Expected Absence and Recovery Timeline
Vlahovic will miss Juventus’s upcoming Serie A fixture against Monza. While the club has not specified an exact return date, the injury is not considered severe, and Vlahovic is expected to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. There is optimism within the club that he could return in time for the crucial away match against Bologna scheduled for May 4.
Impact on Juventus
With Vlahovic unavailable for the Monza clash, coach Igor Tudor is likely to rely on Randal Kolo Muani to lead the attack, supported by players such as Kenan Yildiz, Nicolas Gonzalez, and Francisco Conceicao. The team will closely monitor Vlahovic’s progress as they prepare for a series of important fixtures, including matches against Bologna, Lazio, Udinese, and Venezia.
