Rome  - Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta is to undergo knee surgery following an injury sustained in training Saturday and which sidelined him for a Serie A game at Siena, the Turin club said Monday.

The 29-year-old Italian international will be operated Tuesday on his left knee to remove part of a damaged meniscus.

Iaquinta has scored four goals in eight appearances this season and could be out until next year.(dpa)
