Allegri confirms Barzagli thigh injury

The defender suffered a thigh injury during Juve's latest victory, his manager has confirmed

Juventus' 2-0 win at Crotone may have come at a cost with head coach Massimiliano Allegri confirming Andrea Barzagli suffered a thigh injury.

Defender Barzagli was introduced with 12 minutes to go but left the field in pain at the full-time whistle and faces tests to judge the severity of the problem.

Second-half goals from Mario Mandzukic and Gonzalo Higuain wrapped up a clinical win for the champions, who are seven points clear in their hunt for a sixth successive league title.
