Juventus forward Carlos Tevez should be fit in time for the Champions League quarterfinal tie with Monaco on Tuesday, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Tevez was left out of Juve's 3-0 win at Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday night due to an injury he picked up that morning in their final training session. He was sent back to Turin immediately for tests and, although he has not trained since, the Bianconeri are hopeful he will be fit for next Tuesday. "As a precautionary measure, Tevez underwent tests which did not reveal any tears," the Serie A leaders said in a statement on their official website. "He will follow an individual training plan in order to aid his recovery from muscle tiredness." La Gazzetta reports Tevez will miss Saturday's trip to Parma in Serie A to focus on making a full recovery for Tuesday. Andrea Pirlo could also miss the Parma game to concentrate on being 100 percent fit to face Monaco, while Stephan Lichtsteiner has undergone tests on a thigh strain that saw him also miss the game in Florence. There are currently no concerns that he will not be fit for Tuesday, with only Andrea Barzagli rated doubtful. "[Barzagli] has been diagnosed with a slight overburdening of the soleus muscle, but there are no tears," Juve's statement added. "His condition will be monitored constantly, but he is a doubt for Parma."
