Bayer 04 Leverkusen will be without Juan for the home leg of their UEFA
Champions League Round of 16 encounter with Liverpool FC on Wednesday after
the defender tore an ankle ligament.

Weekend scans
The Brazilian international picked up the injury in the 1-1 draw against VfB
Stuttgart on 27 February, but the full extent of the problem was only known
when Juan had scans over the weekend after pulling out of the trip to
Hamburger SV.

Fortnight's absence
Examinations showed that the 26-year-old had torn an ankle ligament and he
will be sidelined for at least a fortnight. Juan therefore misses the return
match against Liverpool, which the Bundesliga side must win by two clear
goals after a 3-1 defeat at Anfield a fortnight ago.

Trio out
He becomes the third defender Leverkusen have lost to injury since the end of
the winter break. Juan's compatriot Roque Junior is suffering from a
mysterious knee complaint, while Jens Nowotny is out for the season after
tearing a cruciate ligament in his left knee.
