Juve stick with Champions list Sunday February 1, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus have made no changes to their Champions League squad, despite the fact Cristiano Zanetti could be out for the season.
The midfielder pulled up during last night’s 3-2 defeat to Cagliari and the initial diagnosis suggests he has damaged the same thigh muscle that kept him out for four months.
He had only just made his comeback, so it is likely Zanetti will be sidelined for at least another two months.
Giorgio Chiellini also risks sitting on the sidelines for four weeks after falling prey to a similar setback.
Long-term injury absentees Jonathan Zebina and Tiago Mendes are also included along with David Trezeguet, who is working his way back to fitness after a double knee tendon operation.
If Juve do buy any new players before the January transfer window closes on Monday evening, they will not be available for the Champions League.
Juventus squad: Buffon, Chiellini, Mellberg, Zebina, Zanetti, Salihamidzic, Amauri, Iaquinta, Del Piero, Nedved, Chimenti, Manninger, Knezevic, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Poulsen, Marchisio, Giovinco, Grygera, Sissoko, Molinaro, De Ceglie, Tiago, Marchionni, Legrottaglie
