Juventus' injury problems continued on Thursday after Teun Koopmeiners was found to have suffered a fractured rib during last weekend's Serie A draw with Cagliari.
Netherlands midfielder Koopmeiners was substituted at half-time of Sunday's 1-1 draw and Juve said that he underwent tests "following the persistence of the painful symptoms".
Those tests "showed the presence of a slightly dislocated fracture of the second right anterior rib". Juve did not say for how long Koopmeiners would be sidelined, adding that "his recovery will be evaluated according to his symptoms".
The 26-year-old, who signed for Juventus from Atalanta in August in a deal worth up to 60.7 million euros ($66.4 million), could be out for as long as four weeks.
