Juventus doctors insist Claudio Marchisio has not suffered knee ligament damage.

Marchisio was released from the Italy squad after suffering an injury in training.

"Claudio Marchisio, who returned this afternoon from the national team's training grounds, underwent exams by the Juventus doctors and Professor Flavio Quaglia," read a Juve statement.

"He was then given a new MRI scan to the right knee, under the supervision of Professor Carlo Faletti at the Fornaca clinic.

"The visit and the exam have ruled out damage to the anterior cruciate ligament.

"Claudio will rest for a few days and his condition will be monitored daily."
