Emerson injury hits Juve
Posted by Alex | Football Italia
Lazio’s Fabio Liverani has been ruled out for a fortnight, while Emerson's injury forces Juve to completely change their midfield.
Juventus are dealing with a midfield crisis, as Emerson limped off during the 2-0 win over Brescia with a groin strain.
The Brazilian (pictured) has still not resumed training and is a major doubt to face Atalanta this weekend. It’s a particularly bitter blow for the League leaders, as Pavel Nedved is also out for three weeks with a sprained knee and Manuele Blasi is suspended.
Gianluca Zambrotta and Gianluca Pessotto are not 100 per cent fit either, so Fabio Capello will be forced to make massive changes to his midfield.
Over at Lazio, Liverani had been among the most impressive players since Coach Giuseppe Papadopulo took charge after Christmas.
However, he pulled up during training and has been diagnosed with a right thigh strain. The Italian international midfielder will be out for between ten days and two weeks, so he’ll miss the games against Reggina and Brescia.
Lazio could also be without goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi this weekend, as he has come down with flu symptoms.
