Juventus' Jeff Ekhator suffers second injury during training session

Summary

Jeff Ekhator, Juventus' summer signing, has reportedly suffered another injury during training on Sunday morning in Turin. The 19-year-old defender previously dealt with a hamstring strain earlier this summer while preparing for the season. He had just returned to full first-team training this week but now appears set for another spell on the sidelines. Ekhator was part of the substitutes in Saturday's Serie A match against Parma, but did not play. He is expected to undergo assessment at JMedical following this latest injury.
