The Bianconeri have had to deal with losing some of her important players to injuries so far as the likes of Federico Chiesa, Federico Bernardeschi and Paulo Dybala have missed long periods because of injuries.
They are all important players to the club and their absence from the group is probably one reason the team struggled at the start of the season.
Il Bianconero has now revealed the injury type that has been more frequent amongst her players to be muscular injuries and has had more casualties than any other team in Europe this season.
Reports has it that at least 19 of Juventus players have missed games because of injury and 17 of those have been muscular problems.
They face Sampdoria on Saturday looking to continue their fine form. Juventus last lose a game back in January in a 2-1 to Inter, who claimed the Italian Super Cup. Since then, they’ve played 11 games without losing and currently sits in fourth, six point clear of fifth.
Juventus has won 13 of their last 15 meetings with Sampdoria, losing the other two. However, they have won each of the last six, with is a record that puts them in a good position heading into the fixture.
While Sampdoria are also struggling having won just two in their last twelve games across all competitions, all seems to be pointing to a Juventus win to make it four on the bounce.

Juventus (4-4-2): Szczesny; Danilo, Rugani, De Light, Pellegrini; Cuadrado, Arthur, Locatelli, Rabiot; Vlahovic, Morata.
Absentees: Chiesa (ACL tear), Bonucci (calf pull), Dybala (thigh injury) Chiellini (calf strain), McKennie (foot fracture), Kaio Jorge (patellar tendon tear), Bernardeschi (suspension)
