Injury not so serious, says Alves

Juventus full-back Dani Alves allayed fears of a serious injury, despite suffering a broken leg duringSunday’s shock Serie A loss to Genoa. Italian champions Juve were beaten 3-1 at Genoa, a result compounded by an injury to Alves, who was carried off the field on a stretcher with 14 minutes remaining following a challenge on Lucas Ocampos. Post-match, Juve announced the 33-year-old Brazil international sustained a compound fracture ahead of further examinations, but Alves used social media to play down the injury.
