Dani Alves: Juventus defender breaks leg in defeat to Genoa

Juventus finished with 10 men in Sunday's defeat to Genoa after Dani Alves was unable to continue

Juventus defender Dani Alves broke his leg during his side's surprise 3-1 defeat by Genoa on Sunday.

The former Barcelona player, 33, suffered the injury after his side had made three substitutions and Juve finished with 10 men.

A club statement said Alves "fractured the fibula bone in his left leg".

The Brazil international completed a free transfer to reigning Italian champions Juventus in June after signing a two-year deal.

Defender Leonardo Bonucci, 29, also had to go off with an injury in the first half after "straining the flexor muscles in his thigh".
