Soccer-Juve defender Hoewedes suffers new injury setback
Sept 25 (Reuters) - Juventus defender Benedikt Hoewedes will have to wait for up to four more weeks to make his debut for the Serie A champions after picking up a thigh strain, the club said on their website (www.juventus.com). The 29-year-old Germany international sustained the injury during a training session on Thursday. Hoewedes, capped 44 times by his country, joined Juventus on loan from Schalke 04 in August. He is likely to miss Serie A games against Atalanta and Lazio and Champions League matches against Olympiakos Piraeus and Sporting Lisbon as well as Germany's World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan.
