New injury scare for Juventus as Emil Holm suffers calf problem
Juventus wing-back Emil Holm was forced to leave the pitch at half-time during the victory over Bologna.
Following his convincing display in Bergamo in the previous weekend, the Swede got the nod once again as the Bianconeri hosted his parent club at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday.
Luciano Spallettiâs men dominated the action en route to a 2-0 victory courtesy of Jonathan David and Khephren Thuram, while Holm came agonisingly close to adding his name to the scoresheet, but his thunderous shot crashed against the woodwork.
After the break, Holm was nowhere to be seen, with Thuram coming in as a replacement at the restart, moving the versatile Weston McKennie to the right flank.
According to JuventusNews24, Holmâs exit wasnât a tactical decision, but it was a rather a precautionary measure due to discomfort in the calf.
Spalletti and his technical staff opted against taking any risks, so they decided to hook the 25-year-old, which proved to be a blessing in disguise, with Thuram sealing the win with a second goal.

It should be noted that since joining the club in February, Holm had already spent 45 days on the sidelines due to a calf muscle tear, hence why the club had to be extremely cautious in this case.
The player should undergo the necessary clinical tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of this issue.
Holm joined Juventus on loan with an option to buy from Bologna for âŹ15 million plus âŹ3 million in add-ons.
While he has managed to show promising signs in his few appearances, his tendency to sustain injuries has raised a few red flags at Continassa.
The Swedeâs purchase would cost the Bianconeri a small fortune, so the club directors may feel theyâre better off investing this figure in a healthier alternative.
Holmâs future is also entangled with Joao Mario, who moved in the opposite direction and is enjoying a revival at Bologna.
Some sources in the Italian media believe the two clubs could agree to extend the two playersâ loans for another season.
