Zinedine Zidane's France have suffered a blow, as have Luciano Spalletti's Juventus. The Italian club will be without French full-back Pierre Kalulu when they return from the break.

During the draw with Fiorentina, the former AC Milan player had to stop playing, according to L'Equipe, and medical tests have confirmed he needs time out.

There is an injury
According to L'Equipe, Juventus carried out tests after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Fiorentina and found that Pierre Kalulu has suffered an injury to the muscles at the back of his left thigh.

Will not go with France
Following this injury, the French Football Federation confirmed Kalulu will miss France's training camp for their next two matches against Italy and Turkey as the Nations League group stage draws to a close. Zinedine Zidane's side sit alone at the top, ahead of Italy and Belgium.
How long is he out for?
The extent of Kalulu's injury remains unclear. Juventus will hope to have him back for the match against Venezia on 22 November after the break, or at least for their next league match away to Como on 29 November.
