Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci doubtful for Chievo clash due to thigh injury

Leonardo Bonucci may miss out on Juventus' trip to Chievo on Sunday after suffering a recurrence of a thigh injury.

Bonucci, 29, was forced off with the problem during Juve's 1-1 Champions League draw with Lyon on Wednesday.

The Italy international underwent tests on the injury and is now a doubt for the weekend's Serie A clash at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

"Having been substituted in the second half of Wednesday's draw with Les Gones, Leonardo Bonucci underwent tests which revealed a recurrence of an injury previously sustained to his left thigh," a Juve statement read.

"The defender's condition will be monitored closely again tomorrow."

Juventus are four points clear at the top of Serie A going into Sunday's game, with Chievo sitting in 11th place.
