Pjanic injury, Juve anxiety: exams today

Miralem Pjanic's start to the season, although wrapped in a premature skepticism, turned out to be the best since the Bosnian wears the Juventus jersey. More and more alive in the game, Pjanic proved to be lethal even in the goal zone, unlocking when complicated situations are needed, as indeed players are expected with his talent. Sciagurata, therefore, was the match with Lecce: beyond the skimpy draw, it is the early exit of the midfielder to launch the noisiest alarms. Today, as also reported by Tuttosport, it will be a day of visits, with the MRI that should give some more indication on the times of recovery. The adductor problem, in fact, could push Pjanic into the pits until the next stop for the National teams in mid-November. The Bosnian would thus skip the next four races – Genoa, Turin, Lokomotiv and Milan – and he would be available again not before the match against Atalanta on November 23rd. While waiting for the Bergamo transfer, should everything be confirmed by the doctors, then Rodrigo Bentancur is also ready to carve out his space. The Uruguayan did not come out on form at all from the Via del Mare, but if the physique holds up even for him, there will not even be the need to think about it: Sarri himself, long ago, had spoken of it very well ("There is a player who is never talked about …" he said slyly), and Bentancur confirmed the trust granted to him by demonstrating technique and ductility. Trequartista, director or mezzala, showed how important it is for him to play, in this moment of growth.
