Juventus have confirmed Carlos Tevez has suffered a thigh injury that will keep him out of Tuesday's Coppa Italia semi-final second leg clash against Fiorentina.
The 31-year-old inspired the Bianconeri to a 2-0 win over Empoli in Serie A on Saturday but his all-action display has come at a cost.
He will be unavailable as the Italian champions look to overturn a 2-1 first-leg loss to the Florentine outfit and will undergo further tests to find out how long he will be out of action.
A statement on the club's official website said: "Carlos Tevez will miss out on tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final return leg clash with Fiorentina. .
His absence is a big blow to Juve's hopes of reaching the final of the Coppa Italia as they trail the Viola following the first leg in Turin and could see Alessandro Matri replace him in the starting XI.
Massimiliano Allegri will also hope Tevez's injury is not severe enough to rule him out of his side's Champions League quarter-final first leg clash against Monaco next week.
The Argentina star has enjoyed one of the most prolific seasons of his career having scored 25 goals in all competitions to help Juve continue their bid for the treble.
