Juventus Announces Weah’s Thigh Injury Following Coppa Italia Victory

Juventus has officially confirmed that winger Timothy Weah sustained a minor injury to his right thigh during Tuesday’s 4-0 Coppa Italia triumph over Cagliari. The club’s medical staff conducted examinations on Wednesday morning, revealing a low-grade strain to the biceps femoris muscle.

The 24-year-old American international completed the full 90 minutes against Cagliari, even providing an assist for Nico Gonzalez’s goal late in the match. However, the extent of Weah’s injury and his expected recovery time have not been disclosed by the club.

This setback comes at a crucial time for Juventus, who are scheduled to face Monza in Serie A on December 22, followed by a home fixture against Fiorentina a week later to conclude the year. Weah has been a key contributor for the Old Lady this season, tallying four goals and four assists across 18 appearances in all competitions.

Since joining Juventus last year, Weah has quickly established himself as an important player for the Italian giants. His absence could pose challenges for the team as they navigate the busy holiday period fixtures. Fans and coaching staff alike will be eagerly awaiting updates on his condition and potential return date.

Weah, who made his debut for the US Men’s National Team in March 2018, has accumulated six goals in 41 international appearances. His progress at Juventus has been closely watched by both club and country supporters, making this injury news particularly significant for all parties involved.
