I'm not a doctor but Chiellini as a fractured nose so this could mean 3-4 weeks and play with a mask for another couple of weeks, maybe more.

Birindelli twisted his knee and more details on Monday. If the ligaments are torn, 3½ months? If it's only twisted, 2-3 weeks?

Ibra breaks down Benfica Saturday 6 August, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet crushed Benfica in Portugal, while Inter, Udinese and Torino were also in action.

Juventus travelled to Lisbon and gave new Coach Ronald Koeman a wake-up call with their dominant performance despite injury woes. Robert Kovac, Gianluca Zambrotta and Jonathan Zebina were already out of action before Giorgio Chiellini and Alessandro Birindelli limped off during the match.


Alessandro Del Piero was left on the bench in favour of the dual centre-forwards and the tactic worked as they bagged a goal apiece. Ibrahimovic opened the scoring with a fierce left-foot strike from distance and then rolled the ball across for Trezeguet’s tap-in.


Gianluigi Buffon preserved the scoreline with a couple of fantastic saves on Geovanni and proved he is back on form.

If anyone, who watched the game, could answer some questions about our team. It'd be greatly appreciated.

- How defensive did Emerson and Vieira play? Did either one of them play more offensive?

- Did we use wing-play a lot or were both Camoranesi and Nedved playing more like offensive midfielders; both behind the strikers?

- How did Pessotto perform?

Much obliged, Thanks in advance.
