Juventus has announced that defender Renato Veiga will be sidelined for two to three weeks due to a leg injury sustained during their recent Champions League play-off loss to PSV. Veiga, on loan from Chelsea, left the match in the first half and tests revealed a tendon injury. He had performed admirably since joining Juve, demonstrating key contributions in prior matches. The club is set to continue their league campaign and cup competition without him as they adjust to his temporary absence.
"Renato Veiga, who came off during the first half of the match against PSV Eindhoven, underwent diagnostic tests. The examinations revealed an injury to the tendon of the plantaris gracilis in his right leg."
"Media reports suggest the 21-year-old will miss between two and three weeks of action. Veiga joined Juve on loan until the end of the season in January and has started all five of their matches this month."
