Juventus have confirmed that Claudio Marchisio will be out for at least a month with a thigh injury.
The midfielder made his first start of the season in the weekend’s draw with Chievo, but was forced off at half-time with injury.
Marchisio had scans at Vinovo this morning, and the Bianconeri have now confirmed that he will be out of action for at least a month.
“Tests today have revealed a first to second grade tear of the midfielder's right adductor longus muscle,” a statement on the club’s official website read.

“Tests today have revealed a first to second grade tear of the midfielder's right adductor longus muscle,” a statement on the club’s official website read.
“The prognosis for recovery is around 30 days.”
That means Marchisio will miss clashes with Genoa, Frosinone, Naples and Bologna in Serie A, as well as Manchester City and Sevilla in the Champions League.
The timescale could see the Italian international return for the Derby d’Italia with Inter on October 18.
