Danilo, the captain of Juventus, hurt his ankle during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona. He will likely be sidelined for ten to fifteen days.
After getting hurt at the Stadio Bentegodi yesterday, the Brazilian defender underwent medical testing in Turin early on Sunday morning.
In an official statement, Juventus stated, “Danilo underwent medical tests at J|Medical on Sunday morning following the injury sustained against Hellas Verona on Saturday, February 17.”
“The athlete has started the rehabilitation procedure after the tests ruled out ligament damage and any left ankle fractures. He will still be assessed daily.
Football Italia understands that the Brazilian defender will be out for a period of 10 to 15 days. This implies that he will undoubtedly miss the team’s upcoming home match against Frosinone on February 25 and will be evaluated for the team’s away match against Napoli on March 3 at Stadio Maradona.
After Leonardo Bonucci left Juventus in the summer of last year, Danilo was appointed captain.
Danilo, a former Real Madrid and Manchester City defender, has made 20 appearances this season across all competitions, tallying one goal and three assists. June 2025 is when his Allianz Stadium contract expires.
In the summer of 2019, Danilo moved from Manchester City to Juventus in a player-plus-cash trade that also included Joao Cancelo. In 183 games, Danilo has scored nine goals for the Bianconeri.
