Barzagli doubt for Juve-Spurs

Andrea Barzagli is a major doubt to feature for Juventus against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.

The first leg is in Turin on Tuesday evening.

Barzagli did not take part in today’s training session due to a muscular problem in his right calf.

It is only a bruise rather than a strain, explain medics, but the veteran defender is still causing concern.

Paulo Dybala is also increasingly unlikely to feature after his muscular issues, working separately from the rest of the team.

Juan Cuadrado, Benedikt Howedes and Blaise Matuidi will certainly miss out.
