Tottenham boost as Juventus star Blaise Matuidi suffers thigh injury ahead of Champions League match

Juventus have been dealt a blow ahead of their game against Spurs as Blaise Matuidi has been ruled a doubt after being hit with a thigh injury.

And it seems as though Matuidi could be ruled out ahead of the Champions League clash.
