Miroslav Klose expected to miss Juventus clash

Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic has admitted that Miroslav Klose is likely to miss this weekend's Serie A encounter with Juventus.

The German striker was forced to sit out his country's friendly draw with the Netherlands in midweek due to a cold.

"We have to be cautious with Klose," Petkovic told reporters. "He's not very well at all. He's got a cough and, although he has trained, he's not in top shape."

The Biancocelesti travel to the Juventus Stadium on Saturday.
