Quagliarella suffers broken cheekbone

Juventus forward Fabio Quagliarella suffered a broken cheekbone during Sunday's 1-0 win at Lecce and will undergo surgery next week, his club said.

Quagliarella was injured in a clash with Andrea Esposito in the 23rd minute and had to go off. His replacement, Alessandro Matri, scored the winner.

Juventus did not say how long the Italy international would be missing for but they signed Marco Borriello earlier this week so will not be short of cover in the striking department.
