According to reports, Brazilian forward Rodrigo Caio Leao is set to miss Juventus' upcoming match against Udinese on Sunday due to injury.
The news comes as a blow for the Serie A side, who will be hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the table with victory over Udinese. The 21-year-old has been in fine form this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists in just six league appearances so far this campaign.
However, his absence could prove costly for Juventus, particularly given that they have struggled to find the back of the net without him. He was recently called up by Brazil for their friendly matches against Paraguay and Ecuador earlier this month, but it seems he may not be able to make it to those games either.
Despite the setback, Juventus remain in good shape overall, having won all of their last five games across all competitions. They now face a tough challenge when they take on Udinese, who are also unbeaten in their last five league matches. However, with such a talented squad, there's still hope for a successful end to the season.
