Juventus suffer Martin Caceres injury blow

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 08 October 2014

Martin Caceres will miss the next four weeks of action for Juventus due to a thigh injury sustained in Sunday's 3-2 win over Serie A title rivals Roma.

Juventus defender Martin Caceres has been ruled out of action for four weeks because of a leg injury.

The 27-year-old, who has made six appearances for the Old Lady so far this season, damaged his thigh during the first half of Sunday's 3-2 win over title rivals Roma.

Having undergone further scans, club doctors confirmed that Caceres will now miss around a month of action while he recovers.

"Martin Caceres underwent medical tests after departing Sunday's clash with Roma due to an injury sustained during the closing stages of the first half," a statement on the Serie A giant's official website read.

"These examinations have revealed a first-second degree tear of the semitendinosus muscle in the defender's left thigh. He is expected to be out of action for approximately four weeks."

Juventus are also without Andrea Barzagli who is due to return at the start of next month.
