Del Piero, no muscle tear
Alessandro Del Piero underwent scans today to assess the extent of the injury picked up during the match against Pescara. After detailed examination, no tear was found, only strained areas of contracted muscle.
The Achilles tendon of his left foot, which has been causing problems for some time, was also examined. Results show a mild inflammation of the lower Achilles tendon. The player will be rested for around 2 to 3 weeks while he undergoes a course of anti inflammatory therapy on the tendon.
In the mean time, another examination will be carried out next week.
