There are reports Mario Mandzukic could be out of action for a month, putting the Juventus striker at risk to face Atletico Madrid.

The Croatia international pulled up during training on Thursday and Max Allegri confessed the prospects of a quick recovery were not good.

According to the latest rumours, there are fears he has a lesion in the femoral bicep of his right thigh.

It could be bad enough to require a month on the sidelines and that would be a huge problem for the Bianconeri.
