Juventus lose Rugani, Asamoah

Juventus defender Daniele Rugani and midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah are expected to be out of action for more than seven weeks after suffering right knee injuries in the 1-0 win over Palermo on Saturday.

Scans revealed that Ghanaian Asamoah had ruptured his meniscus cartilage, while Rugani strained his lateral collateral ligament, the club said in a statement on Sunday.

Asamoah and Rugani will miss at least nine matches, including Tuesday's Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.
