Juventus Confirms Jeff Ekhator Has Low-Grade Right Thigh Lesion

The club says he has begun rehabilitation with an expected three-week absence that will rule him out of the remaining pre-season friendlies.

Overview

Juventus medical tests at the club’s J|Medical diagnosed a low-grade lesion of the right biceps femoris, the club said after the player left a friendly against FC Basel.
The club statement says Ekhator has started a formal rehabilitation program aimed at returning him to competitive action.
Tuttosport reports the player is expected to miss about three weeks, a timeline that would remove him from the rest of Juventus’s pre-season friendly cycle.
Ekhator’s injury stopped him during the Basel match and prevented the coaching staff led by Luciano Spalletti from continuing planned first-team assessments of the young 2006-born forward.
The forward attended the J|Medical calmly and engaged with supporters on arrival, and Juventus will monitor his rehab closely because recovery progress could shorten or lengthen the current three-week estimate.
