The club have confirmed that the Italy international will probably only be missing for around seven days, as the severity of his injury was revealed
Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has not suffered a tear to his left thigh but is set to be out of action for the next week.
Marchisio was replaced at half-time in Juve's 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, the Serie A champions battling back from two goals down in his absence.
While Juve confirmed the 30-year-old has not suffered a tear, Marchisio is set for a week-long absence and will likely miss clashes with Inter in Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
"This morning Claudio Marchisio underwent medical examinations that ruled out any muscular tears," Juve said in a statement on Thursday.
"They did however show up an overloaded vastus lateralis muscle in the midfielder's left thigh. He is expected to make a full recovery within the next seven days."
Serie A leaders Juve face fifth-placed Inter on Sunday before the sides meet again in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final three days later. Massimiliano Allegri's men lead 3-0 from the first leg.
