Nocerino's 'miracle' recovery Wednesday 19 September, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus midfield starlet Antonio Nocerino has spoken publicly for the first time since being run over late on Monday evening.
The ex-Piacenza star was hit by a car after attending a friend’s party in the ‘Mamma Mia’ restaurant in Turin.
Initial reports suggested that Nocerino had been knocked unconscious, but that has now been discounted.
After treatment at the city’s Umberto I hospital, a concussion and some bruises were the extent of the 22-year-old’s injuries.
“The fear has passed, but I was so scared,” Nocerino told the Juventus Channel. “Luckily I didn’t lose consiousness and now I am fine.
“I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, but I feel like I’ve been saved by a miracle.”
Nocerino will surely miss out on Juve’s all-important battle against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend, but should return to training within a week.

Too bad he'll miss this match but luckily, that is all he'll miss, stuff like that can end much worse, and normally, they also end much worse.
