Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli risks missing the Champions League final against Barcelona on June 6 in Berlin due to an injury on his right thigh.
Barzagli sustained an injury during Saturday’s 3-1 win over Napoli and underwent an MRI scan.

“The medical examination showed that the defender has suffered a first grade tear of the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh.
Barzagli will now begin treatment and both his condition and availability for June’s Champions League final are to be monitored on a day-to-day basis.”
Barzagli missed the majority of the season as he recovered from a heel injury sustained in last year’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil. He returned in March and played a key role in the Juventus backline. In fact, in Champions League play Juventus have not conceded a goal while Barzagli has been on the pitch.
His veteran presence will be missed if he does not recover for the final. Massimiliano Allegri surely would have depended on Barzagli’s experience and leadership to keep Barcelona’s lethal attack at bay.
