No break for Nedved Wednesday 11 March, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's good news for Juventus as it has been confirmed that Pavel Nedved didn't break a rib last night.
The Bianconeri were eliminated from the Champions League after a 2-2 draw with Chelsea.
And Claudio Ranieri was left with an additional worry as Nedved was forced to come off after just 12 minutes following a clash with Michael Essien.
However, after scans today, it has been revealed that Nedved hasn't broken a rib.
“Nedved didn't train today as he received a blow to one of his ribs. His condition will be evaluated daily,” a club statement reads.
It remains to be seen how long the Czech Fury needs to recover, but it is unlikely to be a long-term problem.
