Bad news has arrived from Colombia for Thiago Motta, who will presumably have to do without a wildcard for his defense in Juan Cabal for a long time. After Bremer’s, therefore, the specter of another very serious injury looms over the Juventus world. But above all on the Bianconeri’s defense.
The alarm came at a time when the Colombia national football team issued a bulletin to make known the problem that occurred in Cabal: “The technical staff of the senior national team of Colombia informs that the footballer Juan David Cabal, of Juventus, will not be able to continue his retirement in view of the matches against Uruguay and Ecuador, valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. This is because, during training yesterday, he suffered a knee injury which prevents him from being eligible to face the aforementioned commitments. The coach, his technical staff and the group of players wish Juan David a speedy recovery and his return to sporting activity”.
And now? Having said that there is a fear of a serious injury, which could also affect the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, there will probably also be a strong and direct impact on market choices which Giuntoli will have to adopt: already looking for a replacement for Bremer, the Juventus manager at this point could evaluate the purchase of an additional defender to integrate Thiago Motta’s squad.
