Bettega plays down injury crisis
Juventus vice-general manager Roberto Bettega has laughed off talk that his club are embroiled in an unprecedented injury crisis.
According to some reports, the Bianconeri have suffered 50 separate injuries this season, making it difficult to find any consistency on the pitch.
Juventus lost 2-0 to Palermo in Turin last night and once again find themselves outside the top four in Serie A.
Speaking after the game, Bettega said: “In the meantime, the numbers that are coming out regarding our injuries make me laugh because they even considered those cases where players have been stopped as a precautionary measure.
“For example, this has been the case with Hasan Salihamidzic. We decided to send him to the stands so as not to give Zaccheroni the temptation of putting him on the pitch… That said we are a club quoted on the stock exchange so I can only add that on Saturday we will have a beautiful bench.”
Looking ahead, Bettega added: “It's an important month that we have in front of us, but the one afterwards is also.”
Juventus travel to Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Napoli over the coming weeks making any further slip ups undesirable.

what a load of horse shit! how can he justify 50 injures precautionary or not. Pre-caution means that there is still a problem!
