Back for return
Kapo faces three weeks on the sidelines and will therefore be unavailable for the match at the Santiago Bernabéu on 22 February. However, with the return leg taking place 15 days later, he should be fit for selection in Turin.
Nedved progress
The 24-year-old Ivory Coast-born player has been used mostly as cover for Pavel Nedved this season - appearing twice in the Champions League and eleven times in Serie A. Nedved himself is making progress in his recovery from a left knee injury sustained last month. The Czech midfield player continues to train separately from his team-mates but could be involved in Sunday's league game against Udinese Calcio.
