Injury Strikes Juventus: Vlahović Leaves Early in Key Serie A Clash
29 November 2025
Match Day Setback for Juventus
Serbian striker Dušan Vlahović left the field with a muscle injury in the 28th minute of the first half of the Serie A clash with Cagliari at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, in the 13th round on Saturday evening.
The problem forced an early substitution and represents a heavy blow for the Bianconeri as they chase a stronger position in the table.
Juventus leveled to 1-1 when the Serbian forward went down, and the bench signaled the substitution immediately.
Injury Details and Lineup Decisions
Reports indicated he told coach Luciano Spalletti that he had suffered a significant injury, and the coach hoped it was not serious.
Additionally, Spalletti revealed that goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio was sidelined due to a stomach issue.
Di Gregorio's absence meant a potential return in the next match, with Spalletti stressing the need for many fit players to secure their position in the standings.
The injury crisis deepened for the Bianconeri as Federico Gatti is not yet fully match-ready, alongside Daniele Rugani, Gleison Bremer, Arkadius Milik and Carlo Pinsoglio facing various issues.
Upcoming Fixtures and Standings
Juventus are set to face Napoli, Bologna, and Roma on December 7, 14 and 20, aiming to move up the Serie A table. They presently sit seventh with 20 points, seven behind leaders Roma.
Punchline: If injuries were a transferable asset, Juventus would be in the transfer market every week.
Punchline: Maybe they should invite a trainer with a magic wand—the injuries disappear, but the players still disappear from the matchday squad.
