Juventus winger Douglas Costa could be out for the rest of the season after he suffered an adductor injury.
Costa came on in the second half to replace Federico Bernardeschi in Juve’s 2-1 loss to Udinese on Thursday, a game which the Bianconeri would have sealed a ninth straight Serie A title with a win.
The 29-year-old is set to be sidelined for an initial 15days, meaning he will miss Juve’s three remaining Serie A matches and the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Lyon.
A Juventus statement read: ‘’Douglas Costa underwent magnetic resonance imaging at J Medical this morning, which revealed a second degree injury to the long adductor muscle of his right thigh. It will be re-evaluated in 15 days.’’
A win against Sampdoria on Sunday will wrap up the title for Maurizio Sarri’s side.
