Juventus confirm Denis Zakaria will remain out of action for approximately 20 days because of a thigh injury.
The Swiss international was forced off the pitch during the Bianconeri’s 3-2 win over Empoli on Saturday. He underwent medical examinations at the J Medical this morning and the Serie A giants have now confirmed the outcome of the exams.
The Bianconeri have announced that Zakaria suffered a low degree lesion in the adductor of his left thigh and will remain out of action for about 20 days.
The 25-year-old moved to Turin in a €4.5m deal from Borussia Monchengladbach in the January transfer window. He scored his first goal on his debut against Hellas Verona earlier in February.

The Argentinean striker was ruled out of Saturday’s match against Empoli and Massimiliano Allegri doesn’t seem willing to take any risk with La Joya, who has missed 11 games due to physical problems this season.
