Juventus' Gonzalo Higuain Leaves Derby vs. Torino with Apparent Ankle Injury

Juventus have been dealt a major blow after striker Gonzalo Higuain left the pitch during the Turin Derby against Torino with what appeared to be an ankle injury.

A clash with goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu left the 30-year-old in visible pain. After some treatment, he was unable to walk it off and was replaced by Federico Bernardeschi after just 15 minutes, per WhoScored's Ben McAleer:

The former Napoli forward moved to the Old Lady in the summer of 2016, with the Italian champions shelling out a massive £75.3 million to sign him.
