Kwadwo Asamoah out for 45 days

Juventus will be without Kwadwo Asamoah for the next six weeks.

The midfielder limped off with a sprained right knee during last night’s 1-0 win at Palermo.

Tests at the J Medical centre confirmed he will be out of action for approximately 45 days. Asamoah suffered the complete tear of the medial meniscus ligament and expected to undergo surgery

It is a huge problem for Max Allegri, as Medhi Benatia and Claudio Marchisio are also currently out injured. Asamoah is due to miss key games for Serie A leaders Juve, including league matches against AC Milan and Napoli and Champions League clashes with Dinamo Zagreb and Lyon.

He will also miss Ghana's world cup qualifier against Uganda
