The Brazilian was forced off with 14 minutes left at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, after hurting himself as a result of a clumsy challenge on Lucas Ocampos.
According to the test, he sustained a compound fracture and is likely to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, although, further examinations set to take place on Monday.
"The first assessments carried in hospital have revealed a compound fracture of the fibula of his left leg, which will be re-evaluated tomorrow [Monday]," a Juventus statement confirmed.
Meanwhile, defender, Leonardo Bonucci is also set for tests in Turin after he picked up a thigh muscle injury in the shock defeat to Genoa.
"With regard to Leonardo Bonucci, a strain to the left thigh was detected, which will also be reassessed," the club said.
