Juan Cuadrado scared Juventus: he almost got injured when he tried to get the ball back | VIDEO

Juventus shook off the two consecutive defeats it had, between Serie A and the Champions League, and defeated Torino 1-0, visiting, in a new edition of the Turin derby. The outcome was positive for coach Massimiliano Allegri, but he also had a big scare: Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was almost injured.

The Colombian, playing the role of lane on the right, tried to close his sector before the arrival of the Serbian Nemanja Radonjic. However, the star of the ‘Bianconeri’ did not achieve his goal and, while trying to kick the ball, he suffered a sprain in his right leg.

Immediately, Juan Guillermo took the affected area (at knee height) and lay down on the pitch of the Stadio Olimpico di Torino. Referee Maurizio Mariani realized what had happened, stopped the actions and requested medical assistance. The alarm had gone off on the Juventus bench.

However, to Massimiliano Allegri’s peace of mind, the doctors managed to calm Cuadrado’s ailment and the midfielder was able to continue on the pitch. The 34-year-old athlete even completed the 90 minutes and was key to sustaining ‘Vecchia Signora”s lead (Dusan Vlahovic scored 1-0 at 74’).

How is Juventus doing in Serie A?

On the next date, the ‘Bianconeri’ will receive Empoli (Friday, October 21).
