Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi will miss the return leg of the UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie against Chelsea FC after breaking a rib during Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

String of injuries
The 32-year-old Italian international was replaced after 52 minutes in west London and underwent tests which confirmed the fracture, along with a slight thigh injury. Juventus said on their website that "he will need complete rest for a few weeks". It is a further blow for Camoranesi who has suffered a long list of injuries this season, including a twisted ankle in September, a thigh injury in October and a dislocated shoulder in November. The Argentina-born midfielder, in his seventh campaign at Juventus since joining from Hellas-Verona FC in 2002, has been limited to eleven games in Serie A and four in the UEFA Champions League this term.
