Though he scored on his debut against Hellas Verona, he has now gone three games without a goal.
Serie A: Juventus title hopes stunted with derby draw, fresh injuries
Juventus' faint Serie A title hopes were further dented by local rivals Torino, who fought their way back to earn a deserved 1-1 draw in Friday night's derby. An Andrea Belotti volley in the second half cancelled out Matthijs de Ligt's early header, leaving Juve fourth in the table on 47 points after 26 games, eight behind leaders AC Milan, who visit bottom side Salernitana on Saturday. Fifth-placed Atalanta, on 44 points after 24 games, have the chance to leapfrog Juve when they visit Fiorentina on Sunday. To make matters worse for Massimiliano Allegri's side, defender Daniele Rugani was injured in the warm-up and then his replacement Luca Pellegrini was taken off at halftime. Forward Paulo Dybala then had to be substituted early in the second half, deepening Juve's injury troubles four days before visiting Villarreal in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
