Sissoko out for another month Saturday 8 August, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko will miss training for another four weeks after failing to recover from foot surgery.
The Mali international went under the knife for a fractured metatarsal in March and was expected back in full training some time this weekend.
However, he continued to feel pain and was diagnosed with bruising in the area around the bone.
Sissoko was visited by expert medics today and has been told to take four weeks of complete rest with physiotherapy and specialised muscular exercises.
It is a blow for the Bianconeri, who have been without their star midfielder for five months and do not know when he will be available to play again.
Juve have been given two days off after the 4-1 hammering against Villarreal ahead of some tough friendly encounters.
They take part in the Trofeo TIM with Inter and Milan, a mini-tournament in Pescara next Saturday evening, then face the Rossoneri again for the Trofeo Berlusconi on August 17.
