Juventus has just announced the injury of Khéphren Thuram. Coming off during the match this Monday against Como, the former Nice player, recruited for 20 million euros by the Turin club, is said to have injured the biceps femoris of his left thigh. The player’s situation will be re-evaluated in about ten days, which suggests a relatively significant absence for the French international, as well as for his teammate Timothy Weah, who suffered the same injury.
Recruited to be Douglas Luiz’s counterpart in midfield, Khéphren Thuram is already on the sidelines. Which could suit a certain Manuel Locatelli, who started last night alongside Thuram. Tracked by Olympique de Marseille at the beginning of the summer, the Italian decided to stay at Juventus to try to establish himself under Thiago Motta’s mandate. The Frenchman’s injury in the first match of the season could be an opportunity for him to show that he should no longer leave the starting eleven.
