Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain could face up to three weeks on the sidelines following his hand injury which will require surgery Doctor Matteo Vitali has revealed.
“Recovery time will be around 2-3 weeks. Pain affects performance and a fall on the fracture could turn this injury into something even more serious. The stance of preserving the player, I believe, is dictated by these assessments,” he told Premium Sport.
Juventus have said the Argentine forward underwent successful surgery on the injury but did not give an expected return date for the 29-year-old.
It is expected that Higuain will certainly miss the Bianconeri’s clash with Napoli at the weekend and will almost certainly miss the Derby D’Italia with Inter the following weekend also.
This season, the former Real Madrid and River Plate striker has found the net eight times in 13 Serie A outings and scored a further two across six more games in other competitions.

we are lucky, he was starting to pick up form and is always a menace against us
Mandzukic is better in the air n at holding up play his shooting isn’t as good but hes not afraid to track back n defend either so this changes nothing n we still have to b at our best
That’s bad for us. Mandzukic is more dangerous than Piguain.
nope he always does good vs us, skriniar will put mandzukic in his pocket
i hope rube beat or at least draw agains napoli this week. and napoli break some rube player. inter win vs chievo and juve next week and inter almost pretty sure become winter champion.
Lets hope draw result and controversial fighting leads to some red cards for both team…
Fuck….. I wished the pig would played, Mandzukic is so much better….. anyways FORZA INTERRRRR
Laugh or cry? Lol guess juve would be playing us with 11 men for once haha
Just dont let his absence be an excuses for their loss when we kick their asses..woohhooo
