Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli is set to report to JMedical for tests on a potential knee issue that he reported during his side’s 1-1 Serie A draw against Milan on Sunday evening according to the latest updates.

Locatelli to undergo medical tests after hurting knee in Juventus 1-1 Milan

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and various others, Locatelli complained of discomfort in his knee towards the end of Juve’s 1-1 draw against Milan at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening. Despite the pain, the Italy international completed the full 90 minutes on the night.

Locatelli will now report to JMedical and is expected to undergo tests in the coming hours according to the latest updates on Monday afternoon.

Juventus could do without another long-term absence in their midfield department, given that regular starter Khephren Thuram has had surgery on his knee and is not expected to return to action until early 2027.

If Locatelli is ruled out, Luciano Spalletti will be left reliant on Weston McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Teun Koopmeiners and summer signing Pape Matar Sarr in central midfield.
