The German international joined the Bianconeri on a free transfer last summer, but has been plagued by a series of muscular injuries.
“Sami Khedira was absent from today’s workout after medical exams revealed a first grade tear of the soleus muscle in his left calf,” the Turin club announced on their official website.
“The German midfielder will be sidelined for the next two league matches and his availability for the Coppa Italia final will depend upon the results of further tests to be conducted over the coming days and weeks.”
The Old Lady have already secured the Scudetto, so the final League games are a formality, but they face Milan in the Coppa final on May 21. Germany have already lost Ilkay Gundogan for the Euro 2016 tournament, and Bastian Schweinsteiger also has a serious knee injury.
