Mandzukic's injury could be worse than previously thought, he could require surgery and would be out 3/4 months.
Hopefully nothing serious from the SuperCoppa. Douglas Costa (calf cramps), Miralem Pjanic (bruise to the left calf) and Rodrigo Bentancur (contusion in the left thigh) all underwent physiotherapy.
None of it seems to be serious. Sami Khedira, who the day before Juve - Chievo, suffered a bruise to his right knee is improving and today took part in a personalised training regime. Miralem Pjanic also went through a personalised programme, who is getting over a bruised left calf sustained in the Super Cup. Meanwhile, Joao Cancelo who returned to action in the same fixture reported a muscle strain in his left calf. Cristiano Ronaldo was given a day of rest.
Oh....and Juve +11! Quags has tied a Serie A record for Samp by scoring in 11 straight games. Only the great Batigol has done this in Serie A history for Fiorentina back in the day. Congrats to him.
Official from Juve... Leonardo Bonucci suffered a sprained right ankle yesterday, around the joint capsule. The player has already begun the appropriate treatment.

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini should be back in two weeks. Chiellini will undergo tests to determine the extent of his suspected calf injury on Friday, but Sky Sport Italia reports he will only miss two weeks of action. That would make him available for Juve’s Champions League last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid.

Allegri stated that Chiellini's injury is not serious but it will take him 10-15 days.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Costa to undergo tests for a quadriceps problem he picked up against Parma. He could be out for 7-10 days. Bernardeschi took a blow to his rib cage and will be checked out. No sense of any broken bones.
Allegri - Regarding the injuries, we are at a good point: besides Cuadrado, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini will return to training next week. If Barzagli isn't available for the match against Frosinone, he will be for the Champions League or just after that.

Khedira / irregular heartbeat / 19 Feb (?) A medical report on Juve’s official website confirmed Costa was still recovering from a hamstring injury, while Khedira would be subjected to an EP test and eventual treatment of ‘atrial arrhythmia’.
I was thinking about Khedira today and wondered what was up with him. My dad had Atrial Arrhythmia. Its in the upper part the heart and its also known as Atrial Fibrillation (or "afib"). I think Cassano may have had something similar a few years ago but not sure if Khedira's condition is the same or if he can recover in the same way. This is a pretty serious condition for anyone and especially for pro athletes.
Official, out for about a month https://www.juventus.com/en/news/news/2019/khedira--medical-update.php
Tests reportedly showed there is no serious damage to Cristiano Ronaldo’s ankle, but he remains in doubt to face Napoli on Sunday. Examinations showed no lesions or fractures.
