Nicolo Savona to miss up to two months with ankle injury suffered vs. Man City
A day after their 5-2 dismantling at the hands of Manchester City, Juventus received one last bit of salt in the wound coming out of the first loss at the Club World Cup. Considering how things looked as Nicolo Savona reacted to being injured in the second half of Thursday afternoon's loss to City in Orlando, Florida, good news was likely not on the way. And, in fact, the news after the young Italian defender underwent scans on his left ankle brought nothing that is all that encouraging. Juventus announced Friday that Savona suffered 'a high-grade capsular-ligament lesion' in his ankle that will rule him out of however much longer Juventus' stay at the Club World Cup ends up being. Advertisement Juve's announcement said that Savona — who started all three of the Bianconeri's group stage games in the middle of their three-man defense —- will be re-evaluated in a month, but the Italian media is saying he could very well be out for a total of closer to two months. If that is the case, then Savona is suddenly a candidate to miss pretty much all of preseason training in this unconventional summer and potential still be working his way back to full fitness ahead of Juventus' Aug. 24 season opener against Parma. Here is the full text of Juventus' update on Savona's ankle injury: Nicolo Savona, following the trauma to his left ankle suffered during Thursday's match against Manchester City, underwent diagnostic tests today which revealed a high-grade capsular-ligament lesion. He has already begun his rehabilitation programme and will be reassessed in a month's time. Considering that Juventus are not exactly boasting their full array of defensive options as Igor Tudor continues to utilize his customary three-man backline, losing Savona is certainly not a positive development heading into Tuesday night's CWC Round of 16 tie against Real Madrid in Miami. Federico Gatti has been slow played back into a heavy workload after dealing with a broken bone in his heel late in the season. Gleison Bremer is on the trip but has not played a minute of competitive game time as he works his way back from his October ACL injury. So, with Savona now down injured, could that open up a chance for somebody like Daniele Rugani — who is back in the squad after returning from being on loan at Ajax — to face Real Madrid? As much as Gatti is the first choice to play, he still has not played a full half of football in the Club World Cup, so it's hard to know where his match fitness is at these days. Advertisement Either way, it looks as though it will be a couple of months before we see Savona again — and it's just another injury to add to the list of ones this defensive unit have had to deal with.

Juventus defender Savona out of Club World Cup with ankle injury
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. The loss to City meant Juventus finished second in Group G and will face Real Madrid in the last 16 on Tuesday in Miami. Gatti, who also replaced Savona in Juve's opening win over Al Ain, is most likely to slot into Igor Tudor's back three.
