Juventus have confirmed that Alex Sandro is out through injury for 10 days.
Initial reports suggested Sandro has suffered muscle damage during a training session and could be out for anything up to 6 weeks.
Thankfully, an official announcement from the club revealed the extent of the injury wasn’t as severe as intially thought.
“Alex Sandro will be sidelined for approximately ten days after an MRI scan revealed an overload of the rectus femoris muscle in his left thigh.” read a statement on the clubs website.
“The Brazilian wing-back pulled up in yesterday’s training session at Juventus Center in Vinovo.”
Sandro will miss this Friday’s Serie A game against Bologna and the first-leg of Juve’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
I’m not happy about this, but Allegri would use Evra against Munich anyway.
Yeah its just too bad that now the option to put him in is gone too.
I would have liked to see him start with Lichtsteiner on the other side
