Juventus have been dealt a major blow to their Serie A and Champions League hopes with the news that Lilian Thuram will be out for the next six weeks.

The Frenchman was replaced by Igor Tudor after 20 minutes of his side's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan on Saturday evening and it has now emerged that he has strained his inner thigh muscle.

Juventus will be relieved because it was at first feared that he could be out for much longer but with the defender set to miss his side's Coppa Italia final against Parma as well as league games against Lazio and Milan, Juventus' hope of success on three fronts have been severely dented.
