Juventus Executive Makes Light of Player’s Injury History

At Juventus’ recent holiday gathering, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli humorously addressed Nico Gonzalez’s history of injuries. As Gonzalez was invited to perform a song for his colleagues, Giuntoli quipped, “He won’t hurt himself doing this, will he?” The remark elicited laughter from those in attendance.

Gonzalez, a 26-year-old recent addition to Juventus, has had limited playing time this season due to fitness issues. He has appeared in just eight matches, finding the net twice. The Argentine forward recently made his comeback in a Serie A fixture against Venezia, following a two-month absence caused by a muscular injury.

The lighthearted moment at the Christmas party highlights the challenges Gonzalez has faced in maintaining consistent fitness since joining the Italian giants. While the joke was well-received, it also underscores the importance of Gonzalez’s health to Juventus’ success moving forward.

As Juventus continues its campaign, fans and club officials alike will be hoping that Gonzalez can overcome his injury woes and make a significant impact on the pitch. The player’s ability to stay fit could prove crucial in the team’s pursuit of domestic and European success this season.
