Former Juventus director Alessio Secco was forced to rue midfielder Sami Khedira’s injury woes after the German midfielder was ruled out for two months.
The 28-year-old started the Bianconeri’s friendly loss at Marseille but was forced to leave the field after 25 minutes with the Bianconeri later confirming that a thigh injury would rule Khedira out for two months.
“Unfortunately these injuries are happening to repeat offenders, such as Khedira and [Andrea] Barzagli,” Secco told Sky Sport Italia.
“Khedira is a great champion, but unfortunately in his career he has had many injuries.”
Khedira’s Real Madrid career was often blighted by injuries, contributing to his paltry tally of 13 appearances made in the 2014-15 season before he was released by the Spanish outfit.
The Old Lady begin their Scudetto defence against Udinese on August 23 and hope to have midfield reinforcements in their squad ready by then, Barcelona defensive midfielder Javier Mascherano is one name touted as a potential arrival at Juventus Stadium.
