Turin, Italy (My Sportsbook) - Juventus have been dealt a blow with the news that Fabio Cannavaro is facing three weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury. The veteran defender was injured during Tuesday's 1-1 Champions League draw with Bordeaux and scans have confirmed a muscle strain. The World Cup-winning Italy defender limped out of the Group A opener midway through the second half. A medical bulletin issued by the Turin club revealed: "a first-degree adductor muscle strain in the left thigh." Meanwhile, midfielders Tiago and Felipe Melo are both expected to be fit for the matchday two trip to Bayern Munich after knocks picked up against Bordeaux were described as minor.
