Nicolò Savona

Nottingham Forest defender Nicolo Savona (22) has been sidelined with a serious left ankle injury, sustained during Juventus’s 5–2 defeat to Manchester City in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Italian full-back was forced off around the 60th minute after suffering a turn-over incident to his ankle—a moment that highlighted the severity of the situation.

Following diagnostic scans, Juventus confirmed that Savona has sustained a high-grade capsular-ligament lesion. A rehabilitation program has already begun, and the defender will be re-evaluated in approximately one month. (Source: Reuters)

While no precise return date has been officially confirmed, reports suggest the injury could keep him out for six to eight weeks.
