Diego Lopez - AC MilanDiego Lopez will not be available for AC Milan’s game against Serie A champions Juventus on Saturday and it is unknown whether it will be Christian Abbiati or Michael Agazzi to replace him.

The Rossoneri have confirmed that the former Real Madrid goalkeeper suffered an injury to his right hamstring in the 5-4 win over Parma on Sunday evening and will be out for an expected two weeks.

In training on Monday, Abbiati and Agazzi were put through their paces by Milan goalkeeping coach Alfredo Magni before both keepers joined the rest of the squad for a 5v5 practice match.

Milan vice-captain Abbiati is reportedly the favourite to replace Lopez though nothing is decided as of yet.

Brazilian defender Alex has also been confirmed to be out for the Juventus clash due an injury to his adductor edema and it will need further evaluation before a return date can be announced.
