Miccoli will miss Juve
Thursday 3 April, 2008
Palermo are hoping to welcome Edison Cavani back for Juventus’ visit on Sunday, but ex-Bianconero Fabrizio Miccoli is still out of action.
The shell-shocked Rosanero are on a slump that has seen the dismissal of Francesco Guidolin and the return of Stefano Colantuono to the helm.
The prospect of facing Juve at the Stadio Renzo Barbera is daunting at the best of times, but the Sicilians have a depleted squad to choose from.
“Miccoli had scans today that showed scar tissue had completely covered the injury to his right calf, but he won’t be ready for Juventus,” club medic Roberto Matracia revealed.
“During this season he has fallen victim to a number of injuries that have hit different areas on his two calf muscles.
“Obviously, we would love to have him out there, but we want to truly solve the problems before we send him back out on the pitch.”
Uruguayan young gun Cavani has also been sidelined, but he may be fit to face the Old Lady.
“Cavani has improved a lot and he has started running around the pitch,” Matracia explained.
“We are doing everything we can to get him ready for Sunday and I’m sure he will do his best as well.”
Should Cavani not be passed fit, Juve target Amauri will probably start as a lone striker.
Matracia concluded by giving the latest on defender Ciro Capuano, who is a long-term absentee.
“Capuano has returned to us and started his rehabilitation yesterday,” he said. “He should be ready for pre-season training camp.”
