Juventus injury crisis: 16 players under treatment

Juventus's injury problems are growing. The Turin club has 16 players in the treatment process before October is over.

According to a GOAL report, Zeki Çelik and Nico Gonzalez have been added to the list most recently. Checks revealed a low-grade lesion in Çelik's left posterior thigh muscle and in Gonzalez's right calf soleus muscle. It was announced that both players have started their rehabilitation process.

The causes and severity of the injuries vary from player to player. Some players are suffering from trauma-related injuries, while others have been kept off the pitch by muscle problems and physical fatigue. Pape Sarr, meanwhile, is out of the squad due to muscle fatigue and a delay in his preparation process.

The report reminds readers that Juventus have stood out in recent years as one of the Serie A clubs with the most injured players. It is also suggested that frequent changes of head coach and fitness staff at the club may have played a part in this situation.

Since Simone Folletti's tenure from 2014 to 2019, a large number of different people have held the fitness coach role at Juventus. This instability is considered likely to have a negative effect on players' physical preparation processes.
