The Italy international tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee at Vinovo on Friday afternoon.

While they did not offer a timeline for his recovery, it is as serious as expected, it could see him miss up to six or seven months of action.

Juventus also confirmed that the veteran will undergo an operation in the coming days.
