Juve confirm Caceres injury

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have confirmed Martin Caceres suffered from a muscular problem, but more tests are required.

The Uruguay international limped off during the first half of last night’s 1-0 Serie A victory over Milan.

Today the Juve medical staff confirmed he suffered “a muscular problem in his left thigh. His condition will be monitored by the Bianconeri medical team over the next few hours.”

There should be more news after tests later today, but the initial reports in Italy suggest it could be a thigh strain.

That would rule Caceres out for several weeks.

It seems unlikely he will be available for Wednesday’s Serie A game against Cesena.

That is a heavy blow, as Juve are also without Andrea Barzagli, Andrea Pirlo and Luca Marrone.
