Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli will be riding the bench for at least another month after continued issues with his heel.
Barzagli underwent surgery on his heel in July and though he participated in this summer’s World Cup, he has not seen play in Serie A yet this season.
The Italian center-back was expected to have a recover time of about three months following the surgery in July but will now be continuing physical therapy and workouts for at least another 30 days.
According to a statement on the official website of Juventus, Barzagli underwent an MRI scan that revealed stress around the heel bone.
“[Barzagli] will therefore change his recovery regime and continue with therapy and individual workouts for another 30 days before undergoing new tests designed to monitor his progress,” revealed Juventus’ official statement.
