Trezeguet out 40 days with ankle injury

Juventus striker David Trezeguet will miss 40 days with an ankle injury.

The Turin club said Thursday that medical tests revealed a strain in Trezeguet's right ankle.

The injury occurred during the first half of Juve's 2-1 win over Parma on Tuesday.

Juventus was already without four key players.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and forward Vincenzo Iaquinta are both recovering from knee surgery, Mauro Camoranesi is out for a month with a thigh injury and fellow midfielder Mohamed Sissoko is playing for Mali at the African Cup of Nations.
