Trezeguet and Iaquinta are OUT???????????
Yes

Vincenzo Iaquinta may join Gigi Buffon on the sidelines for Juventus’ trip to Reggio Calabria this weekend.

The former Udinese man has been suffering from back pain and went to see a physiotherapist during today’s training session at Vinovo.

Iaquinta will be given a final fitness test on Friday, but Claudio Ranieri is expected to name David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero in attack against Reggina.

Trezeguet has been suffering from the ‘flu’ and was excused from the majority of today’s activities, but the French international is expected to be available.

Azzurri goalkeeper Buffon is already a major doubt for the journey to Calabria due to a back problem of his own.

The first-choice custodian has reported a significant improvement in his condition, but he is likely to lend the gloves to Emanuele Belardi in order to ensure his fitness for next week’s Turin derby.

Dopo aver fatto sostenere l’allenamento di rifinitura (alla presenza di Jean-Claude Blanc), Claudio Ranieri ha convocato 20 bianconeri per la sfida in casa della Reggina, valida per la 5ª giornata di ritorno di Serie A. Gara in programma sabato sera alle 20,30.

A distanza di un paio di settimana, torna l’emergenza, in particolare nel reparto offensivo. Assenti contemporaneamente Trezeguet e Iaquinta. Il francese è alle prese con l’influenza, l’ex udinese con il mal di schiena. Per entrambi c’è la speranza di un recupero per il derby di martedì. Come annunciato giovedì, resta a Torino anche Buffon. Infine out anche Zebina, ancora alle prese con un problema al ginocchio infortunato ad inizio gennaio. Gli altri esclusi dall’elenco dei convocati sono Andrade e Marchionni, ancora ko, e Nocerino squalificato.

Aggregati tre ragazzi della Primavera: il centrocampista Castiglia, il trequartista Pasquato e l’attaccante Bottone.

Ranieri expects Reggina test

Claudio Ranieri has discussed the injury crisis that he faces for Juventus’ trip to Reggina this weekend.

The Bianconeri have a golden opportunity to put pressure on second-placed Roma, who face Fiorentina, as they take on the struggling Calabrians.

However, Ranieri can’t call upon Gigi Buffon, David Trezeguet, Jonathan Zebina or the suspended Antonio Nocerino.

“Iaquinta has a back pain and Trezeguet has the 'flu’, but hopefully they will be back for the derby,” the Juve boss explained.

“Buffon is doing well, but we just don’t want to put too much strain on him so that we can rule out a relapse and help his chances of playing for the Azzurri

“Zebina is recovering and we hope to have him in action for Tuesday, but he has some knee pain at the moment.

“Mohamed Sissoko could start. I am expecting to gradually integrate him and to see more of the good things he has shown so far.

“Without Iaquinta and Trezeguet, Alessandro Del Piero could lead the attack as he is on exceptional form and he could be with Raffaele Palladino.”

Having lost so many of his big guns, Ranieri is expecting a stern test at the Stadio Granillo.

“I don’t see this as a favourable fixture,” he stressed. “Against Inter and Udinese they did everything for a draw. I am expecting a tremendously difficult game.

“I lived in Calabria for eight years and I know how passionate they are there.

“We learned the lessons from the Cagliari game and we know that it’s the results which count.

“I want the same determination I saw against Udinese and Roma.”

Juventus (probable): Belardi; Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Molinaro; Camoranesi, Sissoko, Zanetti, Nedved; Palladino, Del Piero
