Vlahovic out for ´two to three months´ with adductor injury, Spalletti confirms

Dusan Vlahovic is expected to be ruled out for “two to three months” with an adductor injury, Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti confirmed.

The Serbia forward suffered the setback during the Bianconeri’s 2-1 victory over Cagliari on Saturday.

That means Vlahovic will be unavailable on Tuesday, when Juve begin their Coppa Italia campaign against Udinese in the last 16 of the competition.

Spalletti is still awaiting an exact timeline for the number nine’s absence, but the head coach says he will miss “a big part of this team”.

“As far as precise timings are concerned, you have to talk to the doctors. They’re the ones who know these things,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, he will be out of action for two to three months.
