Douglas Luiz, never-ending ordeal: femoral biceps injury, he will be seen again at the end of March

The bad feelings were confirmed by the instrumental tests: Douglas Luiz suffered a low-grade lesion of the biceps femoris of the left thigh, he will have to stay out for at least twenty days. The Brazilian midfielder will therefore not be available until the next break for the national teams: his return is scheduled for the end of March. For the player, this is the fourth injury of the season.

Douglas Luiz had asked to be substituted during the match in Cagliari: he had come on in the 16th minute of the second half in place of Koopmeiners, but then had to give up - after twenty minutes - due to a strong discomfort in his left thigh. The first sensations led to suspect a muscle injury, later confirmed by the clinical tests: the player will immediately begin therapy with the support of the medical area. The worst was averted for Cambiaso, who returned regularly to the field and trained with his teammates: his use against Empoli, in the Coppa Italia, is to be evaluated, but the emergency regarding him has passed.
