Andrade disaster strikes Juve
Saturday 12 July, 2008
Juventus have lost defender Jorge Andrade for the entire season after tests showed he requires another knee operation.

The 30-year-old Portuguese international has had a disastrous time since joining the Bianconeri in 2007.

He managed just four Serie A appearances before suffering a devastating fracture of the left kneecap and has been out of action ever since.

He was meant to come back into the squad for this campaign, but this afternoon it was announced he would require another operation on the same injury.

Andrade pulled up during Thursday’s training session at the Pinzolo camp and tests have now confirmed the worst case scenario.

The former Deportivo La Coruna star must now fly to Lisbon for the surgery to be performed by Professor Martins on Monday.

It will be the third operation on the left knee in the last 12 months and Juventus medical staff do not expect him to be back at all this season.

The blow could force the club back on to the transfer market, although they have reinforced with the arrival of Olof Mellberg.

Jorge Andrade to undergo more surgery

Bad news for Juventus and for Jorge Andrade: the Portuguese defender has suffered another serious injury to his left knee. Indeed the diagnosis of the incident, occurred on July 10th while he was training on his own in Pinzolo, is one of “kneecap fracture relapse”, the same knee bone operated on twice last season.

This was the outcome of the tests and visits the player underwent with orthopaedic specialists in Turin. A new surgery will be necessary to synthesize the bone tissue; presumably it will be carried out on Monday July 14th by Dr. Martins and his team in Lisbon. The player is expected to stay out of action for a few months.

What the hell is going with our medical staff? We spend that money for Andrade for 4 games! Didn't they know before they sign him?

We need another defender and Ivanociv is best option. IMO.

He was more like a panic buy from the board after we failed to get Milito after a long negotiation. 2.5 million a game, even if he does recover back theres no guarantee he wont be injured again and he will never even be half of what he used to be during his peak.
