Juve confident on Diego injury
Saturday 1 August, 2009
Diego missed the win over Real Madrid, but Juventus medical staff assure his muscular problem is “nothing serious.”
The Brazilian scored on his debut in a 3-0 Peace Cup victory over Koreans Seongnam, but was ruled out of last night’s semi-final after sustaining a right thigh injury in training.
“It is nothing serious, as we are not dealing with damage to the muscle,” explained chief medic Fabrizio Tencone.
“I think it will only take two days of rest, then a brief personalised training plan to fully recuperate. If it was something worse, then the recovery time would be far greater.”
There are concerns over Diego’s fitness, as he had been unable to take part in the other friendlies before this week due to injury.
Once again, reports state he picked up the problem while kicking the ball.
“This confirms that there is a problem at the front of the thigh. Evidently the difference in muscular toning has not been entirely resolved yet. Having said that, many players continue in these circumstances.
“The reason we have given Diego a break is because in pre-season Juventus are taking every precaution.
“After the negative experiences we had last season, I think now we are trying to work in a different way. There is more collaboration and attention between the medical staff and the management.”
Last term Juventus were hit by a disastrous series of muscular injuries that kept the likes of Cristiano Zanetti, Mauro Camoranesi, Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Gianluigi Buffon out for weeks on end.
With this in mind, it is highly unlikely Diego will be allowed to feature in Sunday’s Peace Cup Final against Aston Villa.

What's happen to Dr.Riccardo Agricola?Nobody wants the same story like last season,when he was blame for team's bad physical condition.
