Melo faces spell on the sidelines
Juventus midfielder Felipe Melo looks set to be out for a while after suffering an injury against Maccabi Haifa last night.
The Brazil international came off worse following a heavy challenge from Tiago Dutra, which ended his evening after just 58 minutes.
Melo limped off clutching his left calf, which is bad news for Juventus, as he has only just recovered from an injury suffered in that area.
The 26-year-old was in tears on the bench and didn’t even join his team-mates when they celebrated a hard fought 1-0 victory.
Speaking after the game, Juventus Coach Ciro Ferrara said: “Melo is very upset with his injury, he suffered an ugly blow.”
SFortunately Juventus have plenty of cover in Melo’s position and if he is unable to be fit in time for Sunday’s match against Siena then Ferrara will either change the system or move Momo Sissoko and Christian Poulsen around.
