Juventus and Italy midfielder Mauro Camoranesi will be out of action for around six weeks due to injury.

The Argentina-born player sustained a muscular strain in his right thigh during Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Udinese.

The Turin giants will have to do without the Italy international for seven Serie A games, starting with this weekend’s clash against Roma.

However, Camoranesi could return to play in time for the Serie A encounter against defending champions Internazionale on November 4.
