Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero will be out for a month after suffering a 'distraction' to his left thigh muscle.
The 34-year-old felt an acute pain during training this morning and immediately went for a scan, which only confirmed the bad news.
Del Piero only just returned from injury and made his first appearance of the season as a second half substitute against Bologna on Sunday.
The club's doctors now expect Del Piero to spend between 30 and 40 days in the treatment room.
Tiago has a similar problem and will be out for two to three weeks.
Meanwhile, Fabio Cannavaro continues to train away from the rest of the group as he also tries to recover from a thigh injury.
Juventus are back in action this weekend when they travel to Palermo.
