Juventus will provide Arsenal's final test before the Premier League season resumes on Boxing Day as the two sides meet in a friendly at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
And in a major blow for the Serie A giants, legendary central defender Leonardo Bonucci will miss the game after it was confirmed via the club's official website that he suffered an injury following Tuesday's training session and must now rest for 10 days which means Saturday's game comes too soon for a return.
"The medical check-up which Leonardo Bonucci underwent this morning, following a problem reported at the end of yesterday's training, highlighted an inflammation of the adductor longus tendon," the statement reads. "His condition will be re-evaluated in 10 days."
