Juventus's defensive depth has taken another late-season hit, with fullback Juan Cabal ruled out for the remainder of the campaign due to an adductor injury. The 25-year-old Colombian sustained the knock in training last week, prematurely ending an already turbulent 2025-26 season for him personally.

This marks Cabal's fourth separate injury absence this term, continuing a frustrating pattern of unavailability since his €11 million move from Hellas Verona two summers ago. His Juventus tenure has been marred by physical setbacks, most notably a serious ACL injury suffered on international duty last season that required extensive recovery.

Just as he returned to action in October, Cabal immediately reaggravated a hamstring issue. In total, he has managed only 12 Serie A appearances and 523 minutes of playing time this season—a stark statistic for a player once seen as a key part of the Bianconeri's defensive future.

His final appearance was a forgettable one, coming on as a substitute in a Champions League playoff against Galatasaray only to be sent off with two quick yellow cards. For manager Luciano Spalletti, who is now deprived of left-back options for the final six games, this injury likely closes a disappointing chapter. With three years still on his contract, Cabal faces a critical offseason focused solely on rehabilitation and proving he can overcome this brutal run of fitness woes.
