Juventus, cracked rib for Koopmeiners: against Cagliari he couldn’t breathe

Juventus is dealing with another injury, after the one that took Thiago Motta away from Gleison Bremer for practically the entire season. As reported by The Republicin its online edition, Teun Koopmeiners in fact, he will have to be evaluated for the match against Lazio when he resumes from the break. In fact, the Dutch midfielder had to leave the pitch during half-time of the match against Cagliari due to a rib problem and tests showed a cracked rib, which prevented the player from breathing during the match.

The press release from the Dutch Federation.
“The midfielder is suffering from pain due to an injury. Medical tests have shown that the next Nations League matches will be too close to allow him to be available.”

To be evaluated.
Now Koopmeiners will rest for a few days, then his recovery will depend on the pain he feels. At present, his presence against Lazio is in very strong doubt and risks being added, in the three-quarter area, to those of Conceicao, who after Sunday’s expulsion will be disqualified for one match, and Nico Gonzalez, out until in November due to a muscle injury. The young Adzic and Milik, who recently underwent knee surgery, have also been absent for weeks. Motta hopes to recover Weah, who has been out for two weeks with a sprained ankle, otherwise he would only have Mbangula as an attacking winger, as well as the possibility of advancing Cambiaso. On top of this Bremer will clearly not be there either.
