Juventus centre-back Merih Demiral has suffered a muscle injury and seems set to miss the next two games against Ferencvaros and Benevento.
The Turkish defender suffered an injury during the 2-0 win against Cagliari on Sunday and the Bianconeri have released a statement confirming he will need 10 days to recover.
“Merih Demiral was subjected to an MRI at the J|Medical today and revealed an elongation of the right iliopsoas muscle,” the statement read.
“Recovery time is approximately 10 days. The Turkish defender will therefore miss the next games against Ferencvaros in the Champions League and Benevento in the League.
“We evaluate a possible return against Dynamo Kiev on December 2.”
Aaron Ramsey trained with the rest of the group, but Demiral joined Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, who are out.
