Bitetto ruled out of Rostov clash with broken rib

Juventus defender Daniele Bitetto will miss Saturday's Serie A match against Rostov due to a broken rib.

Bitetto suffered the injury in training on Thursday, and he will now be out of action for at least two weeks.

The 25-year-old has been a regular starter for Juventus this season, making 15 appearances in all competitions.

His absence will be a blow to the Italian champions, who are already without several key players due to injury.

Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and Andrea Barzagli are all out, while Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira are also doubtful.

Juventus will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing 3-1 defeat to Lazio last weekend.

They will need to be at their best against Rostov, who are currently top of Group D in the Champions League.
