Juventus duo Mario Mandzukic and Kwadwo Asamoah have suffered muscle tears, with the striker likely to miss the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich.

Both players complained of discomfort following the 3-0 Coppa Italia win over Inter on Wednesday and underwent medical tests to determine the extent of the damage.

Mandzukic is set for four weeks on the sidelines and could miss the home clash against his former club, while Asamoah has been ruled out for up to three weeks.
