Juventus striker David Trezeguet will miss the last two games of the UEFA Champions League group stage after being ruled out for a month with a left calf problem.
Training knock
The 32-year-old Frenchman suffered the injury in training on Thursday and subsequent tests confirmed a strain that will keep him out of action for at least 30 days. Juventus sit second in Group A, two points behind FC Girondins de Bordeaux, their opponents on Wednesday, and four ahead of FC Bayern München, whom they host in their final match on 8 December. Trezeguet, who recently notched his 167th goal for the Bianconeri to equal Omar Sivori in fourth on the club's all-time scoring list, has struck six times in Serie A this term.
