Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Medical tests on Monday confirmed that Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero will be out of action for three weeks.

The Italy international left the field after 23 minutes of Saturday’s clash with Pescara at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin suffering from a muscular problem in his left thigh.

The scan confirmed the extent of the damage and the world champion will need to rest for three weeks before he can return to training with the rest of the squad.

The player will now undergo therapy to cure his thigh and will also take advantage of the stop to treat his Achilles tendon, which has been bothering him lately.

Del Piero was happy to learn that he might be back in action before the end of the year, if all goes well.

“I am not that disappointed – the medical tests confirmed my first impressions. Now it is important not to be in a hurry to recover, I must take my time,” said the No 10.<br><br>Source: Football Italia

Juventus.com says 2 to 3 weeks.

Alessandro Del Piero underwent scans today to assess the extent of the injury picked up during the match against Pescara. After detailed examination, no tear was found, only strained areas of contracted muscle.
The Achilles tendon of his left foot, which has been causing problems for some time, was also examined. Results show a mild inflammation of the lower Achilles tendon. The player will be rested for around 2 to 3 weeks while he undergoes a course of anti inflammatory therapy on the tendon.
In the mean time, another examination will be carried out next week.

We'll miss him for there can only be one DP but fortunately for us we have competent replacements in Bojinov and Palladino...i guess you can call Zalayeta competent as well

Damn we have to play against Genoa without Ale!


Get well soon captain!
If he can't make the Genoa game, perhaps he'll make the Verona and/or Cesena game(s). Anyway, he'll be back before Christmas.

Get well soon, Alex.
