Juventus will be forced to field their third-choice goalkeeper in Thursday's UEFA Europa League second leg against Fulham FC after Alex Manninger joined Gianluigi Buffon on the sidelines.

The former Austrian international played in last week's 3-1 first-leg win in Turin but injured his right thigh on the eve of Sunday's 3-3 draw against AC Siena and now faces 15-20 days out of action. Buffon was ruled out for a month in late February with a thigh strain.

Juve leave Fulham with plenty to do

Fulham FC's 3-1 first-leg loss at Juventus was the heaviest European defeat in their history, but they will hope that all is not lost as they bid to turn the tables in the round of 16 decider.
