Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has been sidelined with an injury to his right knee.

The 22-year-old has made 15 Serie A appearances for the Old Lady this season, scoring twice, but did not feature in Friday evening's 2-2 draw with Atalanta.

The Italian champions have since begun preparations for Wednesday evening's Champions League semi-final first-leg against French side Monaco, but they will have to do without their young centre-back for the foreseeable future.
