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 Spalletti’s 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, Holm’s exit wasn’t 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.
