Knee problem
The French striker, who turns 31 on 15 October, underwent tests on Friday to assess the extent of the injury. Trezeguet played 87 minutes of the match against last season's UEFA Cup winners. It is not yet known how long he will be out of action, but he is likely to miss Juve's next UEFA Champions League match at FC BATE Borisov on 30 September.
