TURIN, Italy (AP) — Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain became the latest player to get injured as Serie A prepares to return later this month.
Higuain pulled up in training on Thursday and Juventus announced in a short statement that the Argentina forward had injured his thigh.
“During today’s training session, Gonzalo Higuain suffered a muscle strain on the posterior region of his right thigh,” the club said. “The tests performed at JMedical have ruled out any lesions. His condition will be monitored in the coming days.”
Italy’s top soccer league is scheduled to resume on June 20 but Juventus will be involved in the Italian Cup the week before, with the second leg of its semifinal against AC Milan before a potential final in Rome on June 17.
