Simone Pepe, who hasn't fully recovered, has returned to the list of injured players for Turin's "Juventus."
The Italian injured the muscle of his right thigh very close to the same area that was operated on last summer.
An official confirmation was released on the club's website stating that the footballer will be out of games for at least 15 days.
The last time S. Pepe took to the field was on November 17, 2012, in a Serie A match against Rome's "Lazio," which ended goalless. Last season, the defender played a total of 20 minutes.
S. Pepe will now join the rehabilitation program during this national team break alongside defender Martino Cacereso, who is also injured and will miss games for at least 40 days.
