Juventus, Bonucci set to skip Chievo clash

Juventus star Leonardo Bonucci picked up a muscle injury in Juventus’ 1-1 draw against Lyon yesterday night and could remain out of action during the Old Lady’s next Serie A clash against Chievo Verona.

Bonucci, 29, was replaced in the 68th minute by former Bayern Munich man Medhi Benatia.

The Italian defender will undergo medical tests today or tomorrow and the medical report will say whether the Italy defender can play the next game against Chievo or should be given a rest day to recover from his injury.
Bonucci is said to have picked up an injury to the flexor of his right thigh and although he is not expected to remain out of action for long time, Allegri could decide not to play the highly rated defender against Chievo to avoid possible relapses.

With Giorgio Chiellini who is also out of action due to an injury, Medhi Benatia and Andrea Barzagli should start in centre defence for the Old Lady next week-end.
