Dusan Vlahovic half fit for Juventus’ Aston Villa clash

Serie A side Juventus have an injury problem to sort out before their Champions League clash versus Aston Villa.

According to a report by Giovanni Albanese of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus star man Dusan Vlahovic is set to travel to Birmingham half fit for the match against Aston Villa.

Manager Thiago Motta missed the Serbian striker because of an injury in their last match versus Milan in the Serie A as the game drew to a goalless draw.

Vlahovic trained separately today on the Turin grounds and he might not recover just in time for the Champions League fixture at Villa Park.

Timothy Weah is expected to start the match alongside Teun Koopmeiners. Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao should get the nod. Vlahovic could feature for a few minutes late into the match or if the need arises, earlier. However, Motta is aiming to rest him.
