Camoranesi lay-off confirmed Tuesday 18 September, 2007 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus and Italy will be without Mauro Camoranesi for at least six weeks after tests confirmed a serious thigh strain.
The Oriundo limped off during the 1-0 defeat to Udinese on Sunday afternoon and there were immediate fears he could be sidelined for a couple of months.
Today thorough tests showed he has suffered a right thigh strain and doctors believe he won’t be back on the field for at least 45 days.
It is a bitter blow, as Camoranesi had only just recovered from another injury that had kept him out for much of the summer.
The good news for Juve is that midfielder Antonio Nocerino has already visited the training ground at Vinovo a day after he was hit by a car in Turin.
The accident fortunately left him with only a head trauma and after more exams tomorrow it is hoped he could begin training again on Thursday.
Hasan Salihamidzic and Zdenek Grygera are on the road to recovery and could play against Roma this coming weekend.

At least Sali and Grygera are most probably fit again against Roma.
