Pavel Nedved is at risk for the weekend trip to Udine after he was detained in hospital for observation.
The Juventus star, who scored one and created two in the 3-0 win over Inter, fell heavily on his back during the opening minutes of that match.
He had asked for a substitution and was clearly having breathing difficulties, but carried on to become Man of the Match.
However, it emerged that the Czech international suffered heavy bruising to his ribcage and was kept in the Molinette Hospital overnight for observation.
“Pavel is recovering,” commented his agent Raiola, “and is much better today. During Sunday’s match he was in great pain and was coughing up blood, but hospital tests showed there is nothing to worry about.”
The stay was a precautionary measure, but it is unlikely Nedved will be risked for Sunday’s trip to Udinese.
Juventus face a particularly difficult week and will take on Deportivo La Coruna in a Champions’ League showdown on Wednesday.
