Juventus placed a lot of hope upon midfielder Sami Khedira being an influential player in the upcoming campaign.

The German international was brought in from Real Madrid on a free transfer after he allowed his contract with the Spanish club to expire. His signing convincingly Juventus to allow Vidal to join Bayern Munich for around £ 30 million. The Chilean midfielder has been the cornerstone in the club’s successes over the last three years, but allowing him to leave now looks like a major gamble.

Khedira will be out for the next two months after suffering a thigh injury.
