Juventus will have to do without Emanuele Giaccherini for the next three weeks after he sustained another injury.
The former Cesena left-sided winger had made his comeback from a long lay-off as a substitute in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Chievo.

However, he lasted only a few minutes before limping off again with a new setback.

The official Juventus website confirmed Giaccherini has suffered a first degree thigh strain in his left leg.

Medical staff predict he will be out of action for around 20 days.

The Bianconeri hope to have him back for the trip to Napoli or the home game with Palermo.

sorry to read that but that means opportunity for elia and ESTIGARIBIA!
and he'll be back in 20 days to warm the bench!

i guess that means elia will at least be called up.
Conte should try to experiment with other players in the next 2 games at home before inter-napoli-palermo.
