The Mali international, who only just returned to action after a broken foot, was injured in the 5-1 hammering of Sampdoria, the Turin club said on their website.

The former Liverpool man will miss at least three Serie A games and next week's Champions League trip to Maccabi Haifa.

Strikers Alessandro Del Piero and Vincenzo Iaquinta are among a number of other Juve players on the treatment table.

Some observers have blamed Juve's training ground for a flurry of injuries in the last year.

The Bianconeri lie second in Serie A, four points behind leaders Internazionale.
