The problems for Juventus, and in particular, Mario Mandzukic, continues. The Croatian attacker missed the game against Napoli on Friday after sustaing calf problems and still has not recovered meaning it is very unsure if he will be 100% fit for the upcoming fixtures against Olympiakos in the Champions League followed by Inter in the Serie A.
Corriere dello Sport explains: “Today’s and tomorrow’s training sessions will be decisive if he will be able to play or not.” Also Liechtsteiner is experiencing injury problems and will not be 100% fit this week, meaning nothing really since he is not included in Juventus Champions League squad.
Another issue is the injury of Höwedes who will be out for a longer time, there are talks about him re-entering after the Christmas holidays. This means at least 40 days of rest and rehabilitation for the German international defender who made his Serie A debut only last week against Crotone.
