Juventus could be without Paulo Dybala and Weston McKennie when they play host to Genoa in their round of 16 Coppa Italia tie in midweek and a weekend trip to face Inter Milan.
The Bianconneri ‘s boss Andrea Pirlo fears Dybala may have suffered knee ligament damage following a clumsy challenge from Pedro Obiang before the stroke of half-time.
Dybala was forced off afterwards, with Dejan Kulusevski brought on as his replacement.
The Argentine was making his 11th Seri A appearance of the season at the Allianz Stadium but could now be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with Pirlo revealing the full extent of his fitness setback during a post-match interview with Sky Italia.
“Dybala has a blunt trauma a little below the knee,” he said.
Pirlo also revealed that Weston McKennie, had to be withdrawn early on in the clash with Sassuolo after falling awkwardly while attempting a piece of skill in the opposition penalty area.
“McKennie had a problem, today he felt some pain,” said the Juve head coach.
Juventus had beaten current Serie A leaders Milan at the San Siro before picking up another three points against Sassuolo, and are now only seven points behind the Rossoneri in the standings with a game in hand.
