    Midfield pair ruled out for Juve


    Juventus have lost midfielders Marco Marchionni and Cristiano Zanetti to identical injuries two days before their return to UEFA Champions League football.

    The 28-year-old Marchionni and Zanetti, 31, both tore muscles in their right thighs in training on Sunday and scans today ruled them out for one month. That means they will miss both legs of Juve's third qualifying round tie against FC Artmedia Petržalka, at home on Wednesday and in Bratislava a fortnight later, as well as their opening Serie A encounter with ACF Fiorentina on 31 August. Defender Dario Knežević is also a doubt for the first leg against Artmedia due to a knee problem and coach Claudio Ranieri will make a last-minute decision on his fitness.

    Or rename this thread to:
    Marchionni's and other Juve players injury updates...
    If Marchionni was a juventuz member, he would certainly subscribe himself in this thread...

    The Bianconeri's medical staff have released details regarding a few of the above players, i.e. Nedved, Salihamidzic, Marchionni, Zanetti, Chiellini, Manninger and Grygera.

    Nedved had to leave the pitch near the end of the game against AC Milan as he was hit hard to his left calf, but should have recovered in time for Sunday morning's training session. The same for Salihamidzic, who came off due to slight pain in his left Achilles tendon.

    Marchionni and Zanetti are on the mend. Marchionni is recovering well and will undergo another ultrasound scan next week. If the results are positive, he'll be able to start training again. Zanetti also awaits a positive result from the scan he'll be undergoing on Monday.

    Meanwhile, Manninger has been suffering from a pain under his left shoulder-blade after playing with Austria on Wednesday. Grygera also hurt himself playing for his national team, as he was hit hard to his knee during the game against England.

    And finally, Chiellini. The defender is recovering a little more quickly than predicted and he'll already be in Turin on Monday to continue therapies for the injury he picked up at the Berlusconi Trophy.

    Claudio Ranieri can take comfort in the fact three important players like Camoranesi, Marchisio and Trezeguet are back in the team, though. This is the group of players available tomorrow: Amauri, Camoranesi, Chimenti, Ekdal, Legrottaglie, Marchisio, Mellberg, Molinaro, Poulsen, Sissoko and Trezeguet. To these a few Youth Team players will be added, so they'll be facing their team mates while wearing the first team shirt. They are: Ariaudo, Pasquato, Rossi, Nocchi, Giuseppe Giovinco, Duravia, De Paola, D’Elia and Daud.

    well, in this particular case i'm happy there is an international break, it luckly give cheillini extra time to recover without us playing league games. Without rushing him he could be back for when we play samp.
