Juventus' flying full-back Dani Alves suffered a broken leg during the 3-1 loss against Genoa on Sunday, an injury that will likely sideline him for a significant amount of time.
News of the injury came via the Old Lady's official website. Per the report, he fractured the fibula bone in his left leg. Defender Leonardo Bonucci also suffered a strain to the flexor muscles, per the club release.
For manager Massimiliano Allegri, replacing Alves will be a difficult challenge. The veteran defender still offers a superb outlet on the right flank, stretching the opposition laterally and allowing space for other attacking stars to take advantage of.
