Rocchi doubt for Juve trip
Friday 25 April, 2008
Lazio are already decimated for their visit to Juventus and risk losing hitman Tommaso Rocchi to injury as well.
The Biancocelesti must do without banned trio Ousmane Dabo, Luciano Zauri and Cristian Ledesma for Sunday afternoon’s visit to Turin.
Valon Behrami, Mobido Diakhite and Igli Tare are also sidelined by injury, but Rocchi pulled up in today’s training session.
The former Empoli striker complained of a right thigh twinge and is in doubt for the Juventus game.
It is a heavy blow, as Goran Pandev and Rolando Bianchi are not 100 per cent fit either. Rocchi and Tare will undergo tests on Saturday to identify the extent of the problems.
Roberto Baronio is set to take on Ledesma’s central midfield role, flanked by Massimo Mutarelli and Gaby Mudingayi.
