Defender suffers knee injury against Roma
Claudio Ranieri fears Juventus defender Jorge Andrade will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Andrade was hurt during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Roma and was substituted early in the second half at Stadio Olimpico.
The early indications are that the summer signing from Deportivo La Coruna has suffered a serious problem, with Juve coach Ranieri lamenting the setback.
"The only negative thing about this match has been Andrade's injury," Ranieri told Sky Italia.
"He suffered a tendon fracture in his knee, so it seems, and I think I'll lose him for the rest of the season."
Andrade will undergo tests back in Turin and he is expected to require surgery on the injury.
The Portugal international's injury merely compounds Ranieri's defensive problems, with Juventus already without several stoppers.
