(Reuters) - Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny suffered a fractured nose in last weekend's derby draw with Torino but is unlikely to be seen wearing a protective mask on his return to action, with the Pole preferring to leave them for Zorro.

Szczesny took a blow to the nose from the arm of Torino defender Adam Masina close to the end of Saturday's 0-0 draw. The Poland keeper, nicknamed Tek, finished the game before having surgery to reduce the fracture of the nasal bones.
