Three weeks out for Hernanes

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have announced that midfielder Hernanes will be out for around three weeks with a thigh injury.

The Brazilian went off injured in the 1-0 win over Milan on Saturday, and underwent medical tests today.

“Today diagnostic tests were performed on Hernanes, following the muscular problem suffered in the match against Milan,” a statement on the Bianconeri’s official website began.

“These showed a first-degree lesion of the adductor longus muscle in the right thigh, the prognosis for a return to playing is around three weeks.”

Hernanes joined the Italian champions from Inter this summer, but has so far failed to provide a goal or an assist in 11 appearances for the Old Lady.
