When they beat Udinese on Thursday, even without the absent Gonzalo Higuain, Juventus will be crowned Series A champions.
Juve will claim a ninth consecutive Scudetto if they win at Stadio Friuli on Thursday, but they’ll do so without Higuain (via Football Italia).
The Argentina striker was an unused substitute for Monday’s 2-1 win over Lazio after feeling back pain during the warm-up and it seems he hasn’t recovered enough from that injury.
Higuain scored 7 Serie A goals for Juventus this season with 11 of his 29 top-flight starts coming from the bench.
