Juventus defender Nicolo Savona out of Club World Cup

NEW DELHI: Juventus defender Nicolo Savona will play no further part in the Club World Cup after he suffered an ankle injury during his side’s 5-2 loss to Manchester City, the Italian club said on Friday, with the player set for over a month on the sidelines.

The 22-year-old Italian had started all three group games for Juventus, but left the pitch on the hour mark after going over on his ankle in Thursday’s heavy defeat and he was replaced by Federico Gatti.

Juventus reported that Savona underwent diagnostic tests on his left ankle, which showed a high-grade capsular ligament injury. The player has begun his rehabilitation process and will be re-evaluated in a month’s time. Agencies
