The Kosovo international has featured for just 36 minutes across three substitute appearances since joining Juventus for a total fee of €18m from Lille at the end of the summer transfer window. 

He has not started in a competitive fixture for club or country since last December due to a hip adductor injury that kept him out of the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.

The Old Lady decided to proceed with the Zhegrova signing regardless of his medical history, but his injury issues have not yet entirely cleared up in Turin. 

Zhegrova was called up for international duty with Kosovo during the October break, made two further substitute appearances for a total of half an hour, but has since picked up another issue with his hip, Igor Tudor has recently confirmed

Now, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Zhegrova is expected to miss both the Serie A match against Como on Sunday, as well as Wednesday’s Champions League test against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
