Milik suffers fresh injury while waiting to play for Juventus
Juventus did not register Arkadiusz Milik for Serie A or Europa League matches this season, despite the Polish striker featuring in pre-season. His appearances during those preparations offered some hope that he could contribute to the campaign, and some supporters expected him to play a role.
However, the club's decision not to include him in either competition suggested that the manager did not consider him a reliable option. Milik continued training in an attempt to regain fitness, but he has now suffered another setback.

Milik suffers another injury setback
According to Tuttomercatoweb , the striker has picked up a fresh injury, leaving him facing further time away from the team. The report suggests he is unlikely to be called up again for several months, adding to a difficult spell in Turin.
Milik's availability has been a persistent problem for Juventus. He has made fewer than five appearances for the club in more than 500 days, a record that underlines how little the Bianconeri have been able to rely on him during that period.
His pre-season involvement had raised hopes that he might finally be ready to contribute, but the latest injury has once again interrupted his progress. Juventus must now plan without expecting an imminent return from the forward.

Juventus face a decision on Milik's future
Milik's contract with Juventus expires at the end of the current season. The club will therefore have to continue paying his wages until the agreement ends, unless another solution becomes available before then.
Given his recurring fitness problems and limited playing time, finding a club willing to take him on could prove difficult. Juventus appear likely to see out the remaining months of his contract rather than count on him to strengthen their attack.
At this stage of his career, Milik may find it challenging to return to the level he once reached. His future after leaving Juventus remains uncertain, and retirement could become a possibility if he is unable to recover and continue playing. For now, the immediate concern is his latest injury and the prospect of another extended absence.
