Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is at risk for the upcoming Europa League quarterfinal match against Sporting CP on Thursday due to an injury he sustained during their match against Lazio on Saturday.
The severity of the injury will be better evaluated between Tuesday and Wednesday. Vlahovic, who missed Monday’s collective training session, has been undergoing gym sessions to recover from his injury.
This is the second injury Vlahovic has suffered this season, after being ruled out until late January due to a previous injury in October.
In addition, the 22-year-old Serbian player is currently experiencing a goal drought, having not scored a goal from open play since February.

Juventus will be hoping to secure a positive result in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, which will take place on Thursday.
