Juventus confirm Federico Chiesa is out until after Christmas with a thigh injury, while Weston McKennie’s condition is less serious.
Both players limped off during yesterday’s 1-0 Serie A home defeat to Atalanta at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin.
They both had tests at the J-Medical centre this morning.
A statement notes that Chiesa was diagnosed with a low-grade tear to the femoral bicep in his left thigh.
His return is predicted for after the Christmas break, meaning he’ll be out for over a month.
As for McKennie, the examinations ruled out any lesions to the right knee ligaments.
His condition will be monitored on a daily basis.
This represents a bad blow for Max Allegri and the Bianconeri, who are already seven points adrift of fourth place in the Serie A standings.
They have booked their spot in the Champions League Round of 16, but were hammered 4-0 by Chelsea midweek at Stamford Bridge.
