There are more injury problems piling up for Torino coach Ivan Juric ahead of the Derby della Mole against Juventus, as Nikola Vlasic is added to the absentee list.

It kicks off on Tuesday at 19.45 GMT at the Allianz Juventus Stadium.

The Granata are decimated for this big match against their bitter city rivals, especially as wing-back Ola Aina is also suspended.

Pietro Pellegri, Ronaldo Vieira, Valentino Lazaro and David Zima were already long-term absentees.

Medical staff confirmed today that Vlasic has been diagnosed with a strain of the femoral muscle at the back of the right thigh.

According to Sky Sport Italia, that is not just bad news for the derby, but also going forward, as this type of injury usually requires three weeks on the treatment table.

Samuele Ricci is the only one who hopes to recover in time to be on the bench, but remains unlikely to start.
