Juventus lose Rugani, Khedira

By Football Italia staff

Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has suffered a broken rib and will miss Udinese, while Sami Khedira aggravated a thigh injury.

The Bianconeri beat Young Boys 3-0 in the Champions League last night, with Khedira given 20 minutes at the end.

The German was recovering from a muscular injury, but it appears he returned too early while Rugani will join him on the sidelines.

“The young defender suffered a fracture in the second costal arch of the left rib during the game against Frosinone, that prevents him from training and being available for the match against Udinese,” Juve confirmed on their official website.

“The German midfielder, meanwhile, felt another discomfort in the left thigh flexor that will be evaluated between today and tomorrow.”

Mattia De Sciglio did return to training with the group today, with the players who featured last night doing a recovery session.
