The striker, 29, has missed a number of training sessions over the past few days as he continues to struggle with an Achilles tendon problem.

The Bianconeri have struggled for goals from their frontmen this term and it would be a blow to lose Vucinic, who has been perhaps the most effective of the group.

A new signing up front is believed to be high on the club's agenda after they recently announced they have entered talks with Spain international Fernando Llorente over a possible move to Turin.
