Juve lose another keeper to injury

Alex Manninger has joined Gianluigi Buffon on the Juventus injury list meaning the Bianconeri will have to resort to their third-choice goalkeeper in Thursday's round of 16 decider at Fulham FC.

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.
