An injury for Gonzalo HIGUAIN has forced him off for Juventus.

A big scare for the current Serie A champions as Gonzalo HIGUAIN limped off early with a suspected ankle injury. It’s getting to the point in the European club season where the matches and coming thick and fast and players’ fitness levels become a concern. For Juventus, their number 9 has gotten hit.

HIGUAIN was substituted off in the 15th minute in the Turin derby. The extent of the injury remains unknown. However, with the Old Lady having just come off a 2-2 draw in the Champions League against Tottenham and the Argentina National Team playing next month, the blow for HIGUAIN is a big one.

Jorge SAMPAOLI has strongly been rumored to call Pipita up to the team for the matches against Spain and Italy in March. It would mark the first time HIGUAIN has been in the Argentina squad since the June friendly matches against Brazil and Singapore.

Regarding Argentina, a regular under Jorge SAMPAOLI’s reign, Eduardo SALVIO was recently operated on. While the severity of HIGUAIN’s injury remains unknown, we hope he won’t require surgery.

    “Lucas Biglia was a true lighthouse in the Milan midfield, fundamental in managing the maneuver both when it comes to attacking and moving back and defend.
    Last night against Sampdoria, the former Lazio dictated the rhythm of the game like an orchestra directo.”

    • I never understood people scape goating him. He plays very very very clearly, mostly one touch passing. Always well positioned, responsible in pocession, tenacious in defence and has the occasional long ball through pass and powerful outside shot. He is a very classy CM \ DM. People expect him to also dribble opponents and be flashy and lightning quick, he is not that type of player.. they root for Banega instead.. not seeing that Biglia is the sort of reliable anchor we need to let our forwards free. Not to mention he feels the shirt.. glad he is doing well at his new club.

    96% passing, 6 ball recoveries, 5 clearances, 1 INT, 1 block, 4 fouls won. Defensive monster.
