Thuram's injury worry

France international Lilian Thuram has revealed he sustained an injury during his country's goalless draw with Holland on Wednesday.

The Juventus defender felt a twinge during an aerial challenge before being replaced by William Gallas after 67 minutes.

Thuram is hoping the knock is not serious as an ankle injury over Christmas has already kept him on the sidelines this season.

"After a challenge in the air I felt pain," said Thuram to L'Equipe. "I could not run anymore.

"If I've pulled a muscle, it could be a long worry.

"Also, I've already been injured this season."
