Juventus defender Federico Gatti injured during pitch invasion

During a friendly match between Juventus and Juventus Next Gen at the Allianz Stadium, defender Federico Gatti was injured following a pitch invasion. The incident occurred before the start of the second half when a supporter ran onto the field and accidentally performed a sliding tackle on Gatti.

Reports indicate that Gatti sustained an ankle injury and may miss the opening matchday of Serie A. While the pitch invasion has been a long-standing tradition during this specific fixture to allow fans to interact with players, the club management may reconsider its stance on such entries following the incident. The match concluded with a 2-0 victory for the Juventus senior team, with goals scored by Francisco Conceição and Weston McKennie.
