Zlatan joins Juve injury list Sunday 10 October, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bianconeri’s injury crisis is deepening with news that Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a knock during international duty.
The Swede did not take part in the World Cup qualifier against Hungary due to severe back pain and he must now undergo a course of treatment for an inflammation.
Juventus are reportedly angry that the Swedish medical staff did not alert them to the situation or send the striker home, despite the fact Coach Lagerback confirmed “Ibrahimovic can currently only play about 30 minutes of football before having to stop.”
It’s a particularly tricky time for the Turin giants, as David Trezeguet could be forced to undergo surgery for a recurring shoulder injury, while Alessandro Del Piero is struggling with a tendon problem.
If Ibrahimovic is also laid low with backache, the only striker available to Fabio Capello for their top of the table match with Messina will be Marcelo Zalayeta.
Milan were rather more impressed with the international games, as Kaka has rediscovered his form with a brace in Brazil’s 5-2 victory against Venezuela. The 22-year-old also picked up a yellow card, so he has flown back to Italy early.
Inter men Adriano and Javier Zanetti were also on target in the South American matches, while Andriy Shevchenko netted in the Ukraine’s 1-1 draw with Greece.
