Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri, has been handed a potential tactical dilemma for next month?s Champions League final after defender Andrea Barzagli was diagnosed with a torn thigh muscle on Monday.
Barzagli, who only made his return from a lengthy injury lay-off last month, limped off at half-time in Juve?s 3-1 league win over Napoli on Saturday.
He underwent examinations on Monday which ?showed that the defender has suffered a first grade tear of the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh,? according to a club statement.
It added: ?Barzagli will now begin treatment and both his condition and availability for June?s Champions League final are to be monitored on a day-to-day basis.?
Juventus, who completed their first double in 20 years with a 2-1 Cup final victory over Lazio last week, will hope to secure a treble of trophies when they meet Barcelona in the Champions League final in Berlin on June 6.
