Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has suffered from muscular fatigue, not a broken foot as first feared, the club have confirmed.

The Italian international was forced to limp out of the 3-1 win over Roma on Sunday after going down in pain. Marchisio underwent further tests this morning and the medics have ruled out a serious injury.

According to the club's official website, Marchisio has suffered from muscular fatigue to his right leg and his condition will be analysed over the next few days by Italy team doctors.

The Juve man has been called up by Italy coach Marcello Lippi for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. La Nazionale lead their Group 8 qualifying table and they clash with Georgia on Saturday.
