Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli schedules medical tests following Milan draw
Summary

Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli is scheduled to undergo medical tests at JMedical to evaluate a knee injury. The midfielder sustained the injury during the 1-1 Serie A draw against Milan at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday. Despite reporting discomfort in his knee late in the match, Locatelli remained on the pitch to complete the full 90 minutes. Juventus faces potential midfield depth concerns as the club continues to manage the long-term absence of Khephren Thuram. Thuram is currently sidelined following knee surgery and is not expected to return to the squad until early 2027. If medical evaluations confirm a significant injury for Locatelli, manager Luciano Spalletti may be required to adjust his midfield rotation.
