Monza coach Ivan Juric says captain Matteo Pessina is ruled out “for a while” after suffering a serious knee injury. The club’s preparations for their upcoming first Coppa Italia match are affected by his absence, with Juric confirming the timeframe is ongoing rather than immediate.

Both outlets report that Monza has not provided a specific return date, and the injury is described consistently as serious. Yahoo Sports and Football Italia frame the news around Juric’s confirmation and the impact on the team’s immediate schedule, without detailing the exact nature of the knee problem, the treatment plan, or whether Pessina has undergone additional scans or will face further tests.

Overall, the coverage agrees on the core points: Pessina is Monza’s captain, he sustains a serious knee injury, Juric confirms he will miss matches for a while, and the news comes as Monza turns its attention to the start of its Coppa Italia campaign.
