Timothy Weah’s Injury Setback: Implications for Juventus

Juventus faces a new challenge as Timothy Weah, their versatile American winger, is sidelined due to injury until the end of 2024. Weah sustained an injury during the match against Cagliari, where he was substituted 10 minutes before the final whistle.

Medical examinations at J|Medical revealed a low-grade lesion in the biceps femoris of Weah’s right thigh. This injury will force him to miss at least the upcoming Serie A matches against Monza and Fiorentina, scheduled for December 22nd and 29th, respectively.

The Juventus coaching staff and medical team are aiming to have Weah back in action for the Italian Supercup match against Milan, set to take place in Saudi Arabia on January 3rd, 2025. This marks Weah’s third injury of the season, following previous issues with his biceps femoris and an ankle sprain.

Weah’s absence presents a challenge for Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who will need to adjust his tactical approach in the coming weeks. The team will likely rely on other players to fill the gap left by the American international as they continue their campaign in Serie A and prepare for the Supercup.
