Mohamed Sissoko is a doubt for Juventus’ Champions League third preliminary round fixtures after picking up a muscular injury.
The talented midfielder suffered a strain in the back of his leg while on international duty with Mali.
Initial reports suggested that the problem was nothing to worry about, but Juve’s doctors are taking a cautious approach.
“The test results in Turin yesterday were good,” club doctor Riccardo Agricola revealed.
“But there is a strain and that needs to be addressed and the lad needs to undergo an individual training programme.
“Momo will be ready for the end of pre-season, but it will be up to Claudio Ranieri to decide if he is ready for the Champions League opener.”
Juventus' first Champions League fixture will take place on August 12 or 13 and August 26 or 27.
Sissoko has been somewhat injury-prone during his career and saw his spell at Liverpool marred by fitness problems.
