Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata are
set to be out until after the World Cup qualifier break in
mid-October, Juventus said Monday as the pair had tests on
injuries picked up in Sunday's 3-2 home win over Sampdoria.
Spain striker Morata and Argentina forward Dybala both suffered
muscle injuries in Juve's second Serie A win this season.
The first match they will miss is the Champions League group
stage clash against Chelsea on Wednesday.
With goals by Dybala, Leonardo Bonucci (penalty) and Manuel
Locatelli, Juve wrapped up a second 3-2 league win this week to
build on the success away to Spezia on Wednesday, but it was far
from plain sailing against Sampdoria.
Dybala captained the side at the Allianz Stadium while
Locatelli, who shone at Italy's Euro 2020 win, bagged his first
goal since moving from Sassuolo on a loan last month.
After a three-game winless start to Serie A, the Turin giants
have now notched their second consecutive win and hauled
themselves into the top half of the table.
