Adrien Rabiot set to miss crucial Coppa Italia clash
Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot is set to sit out the upcoming game against Frosinone in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.
This absence is due to a recent injury setback, as Rabiot sustained a strain in the right thigh flexor, rendering him unavailable for Thursday’s highly anticipated match against the Lazio club.
Amid concerns about Rabiot’s injury, the team management aims to take a cautious approach.
The decision to sideline him for the crucial fixture is primarily preventive, aimed at avoiding potential long-term complications that could arise from rushing his return. With this, Juventus faces the challenge of finding effective alternatives to maintain their competitive edge on the field.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri is evaluating various options to compensate for Rabiot’s absence. One potential solution might involve reintroducing Miretti into the left midfield role. Alternatively, there’s a chance for the young talent, Joseph Boede Nonge, to step up and fill the void left by Rabiot.
Nonge, who recently made headlines with his Juventus debut in the Coppa Italia’s resounding 6-1 victory over Salernitana, followed by his Serie A debut against the same team in a 2-1 win, has emerged as a promising prospect. His impressive performances have caught the attention of Allegri, who sees Nonge as a viable option to reinforce the midfield in Rabiot’s absence.
As Juventus prepares for the quarter-final showdown against Frosinone, the absence of Adrien Rabiot due to injury serves as a pivotal moment for the team, presenting opportunities for emerging talents like Nonge to prove their mettle on the field and potentially carve out a more significant role in the squad’s dynamic.
