It’s now a sad habit, but this break for the national teams is also bringing with it a far from negligible trail of physical problems and injuriesmore or less serious, which will affect the destinies of the clubs to which the various players belong from now to the next time. Let’s look at the main flat rates for this stop.
The team most affected is certainly Juventus. After the serious ligament problem suffered by Juan Cabal at the beginning of the international window, Dusan Vlahovic was the last to raise the white flag. Last night, in the Nations League match against Denmark, the Serbian striker felt a shot in the thigh and the Juve world (given the now prolonged injury of his alternative, Milik) lives with bated breath awaiting the instrumental tests for which the center forward will undergo testing today.
Scott McTominay’s injury also occurred last nightwho suffered ankle problems during the match against Poland. Not a blunt trauma, but an unnatural movement that caused pain. His situation is also waiting to be clarified by tests. Knee problems, however, for Nuno Tavares: after having celebrated his first call-up in recent days and then his debut with Portugal, the Lazio full-back was then rested yesterday against Croatia. He will return to Italy to be better evaluated, but in the meantime Lazio and Baroni have already been able to breathe a sigh of relief upon learning that Boulaye Dia’s malaria was just an incorrect assessment.
Last, but not least of the big names, Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turk saw an old problem with his left adductor resurface. He said it himself yesterday at a press conference. At the same time, however, Inter’s medical manager, Piero Volpi, gave a fairly reassuring picture of his injury.
