Tevez Misses Fiorentina Win

Tuesday, April 7

Tevez wasn't available for the previous Coppa Italia win over Fiorentina. According to Juventus' official website, the 31-year-old missed the contest due to a thigh ailment:

"

Carlos Tevez will miss out on tonight's Coppa Italia semifinal return leg clash with Fiorentina.

He returns to Turin as a precautionary measure due to persistent discomfort felt from flexor muscle fatigue in his right thigh, an issue first reported during yesterday’s training.

The Argentine forward will undergo further medical assessments tomorrow.

"

Tevez has been a beast for Juventus this season with 25 goals in 36 appearances, so anytime spent without him is dangerous for the Old Lady.

It's extremely positive that he's likely to return soon, however, especially with victory against Fiorentina in the bag.
