Defender Juventus Mehdi Benatia managed to avoid serious damage in the game against Porto.

On Tuesday (March 14), Juventus defeated Porto 1-0 in the second leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. Mehdi Benatya failed to finish this match to the end - he was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Today's examination showed a slight strain in the right adductor muscle of the right hip.

In the statement Juve it is said that the trauma will require a daily inspection. The next in-depth survey will be conducted next week.

Thus, Benatya is unlikely to play this weekend in a Serie A match against Sampdoria.
