Meghni goes under the knife
Tuesday 5 October, 2004
Bologna's rising star Mourad Meghni will be out of action for up to a month, while Roma check up on Antonio Cassano.
The teenager has gone under the knife to correct a meniscus ligament problem in his left knee, confirmed the French Under-21 side.
The injury was discovered after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat away to Palermo and he had been called up for European Championship qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Cyprus.
It’s a tough blow for Bologna, who were beginning to see the youngster as a key figure in their set-up.
Franco-Algerian midfielder Meghni hit the headlines this season with a brace in the 3-1 victory over Roma and has been likened to a “little Zinedine Zidane” in his homeland.
Meanwhile, Roma have denied reports that they are checking up on Antonio Cassano after he missed today’s training session.
“I was surprised by the publicity that was given to my house visit,” said club doctor Mario Brozzi after he went to the players’ home. “This is a perfectly normal routine that I always stick to for our squad members.”
The fiery Giallorossi star did not attend training this morning due to the recurrence of a flu virus that had also caused problems last week.
“It is a normal flu,” added Doctor Brozzi, “and Cassano is already feeling a bit better. I expect that tomorrow he will be able to train with the others.”

Juve make Meghni enquiry
Juventus are understood to have made tentative enquiries for Bologna starlet Mourad Meghni.
The French midfielder is rapidly establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in European football and has caught the eye of Juve coach Fabio Capello.
Meghni has enjoyed a fine start to the new Serie A season, scoring twice in four appearances for Bologna.
He is currently sidelined with a knee injury but Juventus are believed to be exploring the possibility of adding Meghni to their ranks.
Manchester United and Marseille have been past suitors of the 20-year-old and are likely to be following his progress with interest.
The playmaker is contracted to Bologna until 2007 and the club's supremo Giuseppe Gazzoni Frascara is loath to lose Meghni.
Frascara has already slapped a €10 million price tag on Meghni in an attempt to warn off the vultures.
Though concrete negotiations have not taken place, it is believed Juve general manager Luciano Moggi has spoken about Meghni with Bologna officials.
I can't believe that nobody posted this earlier...
