The versatile defender was forced off just 14 minutes inside the Bianconeri’s 2-2 home draw, adding to the team’s injury crisis and depriving coach Thiago Motta of one of his most trusted players.

Cambiaso in strong doubt for Manchester City as Juventus confirm ankle injury
Cambiaso underwent medical tests on Sunday, confirming he suffered an ‘ankle sprain’, which could keep him sidelined at least for the next game.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri will be relieved to know that examinations haven’t highlighted any ligament damage, despite adding that the player remains in ‘strong doubt’ for Wednesday’s meeting with Pep Guardiola’s outfit at the Allianz Stadium.
