Alessandro del Piero is confident of returning for Juventus when the Serie A season resumes on January 6.
Del Piero has been missing ever since Juventus' 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Europa League.
"I had an MRI yesterday which confirmed the outcome of my first visit to the doctor after a pain developed in the muscle of my right leg," Del Piero wrote on his official website.
"Luckily we are only dealing with a simple muscle fatigue. A few days rest will be enough for me to be back at the mister's disposition for our return on the pitch after the Christmas holidays on January 6 against Parma at the Olimpico.
"I am happy and relieved and I am only thinking about being in the best condition for the second half of the season.
"We end 2010 in a good position in the table and above all with every intention of still improving not just when we return on the pitch."
