Juan David Cabal Murillo (born 8 January 2001) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Juventus and the Colombia national team.
Club career
Cabal started his career with Colombian club Atlético Nacional, helping them win the 2021 Copa Colombia.[1] He played 50 games in all competitions for the team.[2]
On 20 August 2022, Cabal signed for Serie A club Hellas Verona.[3] In his first season, he played only twelve games and was used as a back-up centre-back.[4] Cabal played 30 minutes in the relegation play-off game against Spezia, which Verona won.[4] Cabal emerged during the second half of the 2023–24 season, where he was deployed as a left-back in Marco Baroni's four-man defence.[4]
On 18 July 2024, Cabal joined fellow Serie A club Juventus on a five-year contract.[2] In November that year, he sustained an ACL injury in his left knee which sidelined him for the rest of the 2024–25 season.[5]
International career
On 10 September 2024, Cabal debuted for the Colombia national team a 2026 World Cup qualification against Argentina at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez, replacing Yerson Mosquera in the 88th minute; the match ended in a 2–1 victory for the Colombians.[6]
Style of play
Initially a centre-back, Cabal later developed into a left-back with a strong physique.[4]
