Juventus injury crisis deepens

Juventus, who are in the title race in Italy's Serie A, are going through a difficult spell marked by a series of injury news. According to information released by the club's medical staff, national right-back Zeki Çelik and Argentine forward Nico Gonzalez will be out of action for a period due to their injuries.

Since the start of the season, the number of players injured at the club has reached 16. The frequency of muscle injuries is particularly striking. Milik, Sarr, McKennie, Ekhator and Cabal are among the players who have suffered muscle problems. Many players, including national star Kenan Yıldız, were out for certain periods in the first weeks of the season.

In Serie A's 8th round, Torino, who travel to Lecce tomorrow, are also facing squad problems. The black-and-white side will have to take the field without 9 first-team players. The consecutive losses and the lack of enough players to field have worn down the patience of the fans. On social media, thousands of supporters criticized the management's transfer policy.

Criticism has also been directed at head coach Luciano Spalletti. Some football fans argue that the hard training programme the coach has implemented is triggering muscle injuries and that young players are not being given enough opportunities.
