The Argentine’s injury crisis has continued since leaving PSG to join Juventus on a free summer transfer.

On his debut for the Turin side, he was substituted after scoring following a knock he picked up.

The 34-year-old has made only three apperances for Juventus this season and none has he completed full 90 minutes.

Juventus are drawn in Group H alongside Benfica, Maccaibi Haifa and PSG.

In the past few seasons, the Turin side have been poor in Europe, getting ousted by Villareal in the Round of 16 last season.
