Juve's Nocerino hit by car Tuesday 18 September, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus midfielder Antonio Nocerino is in hospital after being run over in Turin late on Monday night.
The Azzurrini starlet was hit by a car after leaving the ‘Mamma Mia’ restaurant and was left unconscious on the ground, according to bystanders’ reports.
Fortunately, the ex-Piacenza man’s injuries are not believed to be serious and he is recovering from a concussion and bruises in the city’s Umberto I hospital.
Juventus club doctor Riccardo Agricola has been with the 22-year-old since he was admitted and is analysing the player’s condition.
Nocerino is expected to return home within the next 48 hours, but his chances of playing in the weekend’s crunch match against Roma are now very slim.
