Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci Suffers Ankle Injury, Could Miss Atletico Madrid Tie

Juventus have suffered a huge blow ahead of their UEFA Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid after star defender Leonardo Bonucci was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle.

The Italy international left the pitch during the 2-1 win over Lazio with a visible limp, and the Bianconeri have now confirmed the nature of the injury.
