Luka Jovic is the latest confirmed Milan absentee ahead of Saturday’s trip to Turin to face Juventus in Serie A, joining Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori and likely also Simon Kjaer on the list of unavailabilities.
Jovic condition and Milan suspensions
Jovic is believed to be struggling with a muscular strain according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia on Friday evening.
The Serbia international is therefore expected to sit out of the Juventus match at the Allianz Stadium and will likely be monitored and undergo minor treatment over the next few days.
Stefano Pioli will also have several other first-teamers unavailable on Saturday.
Theo Hernandez and Calabria were shown red cards at the end of Monday’ Derby della Madonnina loss against Inter. The former has been handed a one-game ban, while the skipper will miss two.
Tomori has now accumulated five yellow cards for the season and will also be suspended for one match.
Simon Kjaer and Pierre Kalulu are still out with injuries, while Ismael Bennacer is not expected to be involved as a starter. Yacine Adli is expected to start in place of the Algeria international.
