Defender Andrade Out For Six Months

Juventus defender Jorge Andrade could potentially miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with ligament damage...

Juventus and Portugal defender Jorge Andrade will sit out at least the next six months of action as he recovers from what seems to be a snapped knee ligament.

The ex-Porto man started today's 2-2 draw with arch-rivals Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, only to leave the pitch in agony before the match reached its conclusion.

Juve coach Claudio Ranieri lamented, "I'm worried that he's broken his left knee ligament.

"He's had this injury before. He caught his studs in the turf and his leg snapped back. He is inconsolable."

Andrade, who played over 150 Liga games for Deportivo La Coruna before joining The Old Lady, is just the latest in a long line of bianconeri to hit the treatment table.

For example, Mauro Camoranesi is out for the medium term, while fellow defender Jonathan Zebina is suspended.

The Portuguese knight, capped 50 times for his country, may be back in action by April, but it seems just as likely that he could potentially miss the rest of the campaign.

i think heinze would have been a useful player at the moment...but again...our only solution till january is: 1- brazzo-grygera-criscito-chiellini
or
2-zebina-chiellini-criscito-molinaro

we should either use chiellini or grygera in CB. i prefer criscito over boumboum. criscito is still young, inexperienced mistakes...yet boumboum is a natural born mr.bean. SECCO EITHER GO TO SHOPPING MALL OR GO TO HELL!!!

i think the question here is how many games can grygera play before getting injured ?

You cant put the blame on the board for crying out loud.This is just a pathetic bit of fortune.Its a big loss yes,but it wont exactly drown us.Cristcio and Chiellini or Cristico and Grygera in the centre sounds good to me.Chiellini has what it takes to be a great central defender,and he's played there before too.I think we can pull ourselves out of this.

I am also hating this Anti-Criscito wave that is going on lately.. For god sakes he is one of our best defenders. He might not be brilliant but he is alright. He is not a Cannavaro nor a Nesta. Who knows maybe in the future he will be brilliant, but currently he is worth every penny he is getting from us.
Its really funny what people sometimes say. When we play old players they hunt us for playing too old players and we need youngsters, and when we give a chance for the youth, they don't want to tolerate their lack of experience.

Criscito is doing alright. He's been criticised in the media very much (any player who wears our shirt will, just look at Fabio Cannavaro and Ibrahimovic when they were playing for us, they even brought out a video to dig a grave for Cannavaro). So let us Juventini stand by his side. Lets give him so worthful criticism not distructive criticism..
