Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio back in next seven days

Juventus have confirmed that the injury Claudio Marchisio sustained against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night was not serious.

The 30-year-old limped off after 45 minutes of the encounter in Turin with a thigh complaint.

A subsequent scan has revealed that no tear of the muscle was suffered, just a slight strain.

He is expected to be sidelined for seven days, which will rule him out of this weekend's Serie A clash and next Wednesday's Coppa Italia tie - both against Inter Milan.
