Miserable runs continue for Juventus and injury
MILAN (AP) — AC Milan and Juventus prolonged mediocre runs as they played out a 0-0 draw in Serie A on Saturday.
The result in Turin could leave the Bianconeri nervously looking over their shoulders at the end of the weekend. Juventus remained third but 11 points above sixth-place Atalanta, which has two games in hand.
Injury-hit Milan was five points above Juventus.
The top five in Serie A qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Juventus, coming off the back of draws against Torino and Cagliari, has won just two of its past 13 Serie A matches.
Milan has lost three of its past five in all competitions and endured the humiliation of losing to Inter Milan on Monday and confirming the Nerazzurri as Serie A champions.
Théo Hernandez and Davide Calabria were both sent off in that match so they were suspended along with fellow Milan defender Fikayo Tomori. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan pulled out in the warmup, adding to the Rossoneri’s injury problems.
