Juventus confirm Sturaro knee injury

Juventus have confirmed that midfielder Stefano Sturaro suffered a knee injury during Italy's quarter-final clash with Germany on Saturday. 

Sturaro lasted the entire 120 minutes in Bordeaux but was the only outfield Italian player not to take a penalty as they suffered a shoot-out loss to the world champions. 

The 23-year-old confirmed he had suffered a twisted knee in the first half, but elected to carry on because he "couldn't think about tomorrow".

"Stefano Sturaro suffered a twisted right knee during Saturday evening’s European Championship quarter-final clash between Italy and Germany in France," a Juventus statement read.

"Sturaro's injury, which is in the medial collateral ligament area of his knee, will be monitored as the midfielder proceeds with the appropriate treatment."

The Serie A club are aiming for a sixth straight Scudetto in 2016-17.
