Juventus yesterday signed veteran striker Luca Toni on a free transfer from Genoa to replace injured forward Fabio Quagliarella, who will likely miss the rest of the season.

The club confirmed that Quagliarella suffered a ruptured knee ligament in the 4-1 loss to Parma on Thursday. He will have surgery in the next few days and could be sidelined for up to six months.
