Trez illness sparks concern
Friday 25 February, 2005
David Trezeguet’s prolonged absence from the Juventus first team has sparked fears that the France striker could be suffering from glandular fever.
The 27-year-old has missed Juventus’ last two matches through illness and has already been ruled out of Sunday’s clash with Siena.
Trezeguet, who was originally out with flu and has since been struck down by an intestinal virus, remains reluctant to comment on his health problems.
He did, however, admit that he rates himself as doubtful for the Champions’ League second-leg clash with Real Madrid on March 9.
The former Monaco hitman, who has not been training with his Juventus teammates this week, had an initial blood test last Friday but confirmed on Wednesday that he would be having more tests next week.
His France and Juventus teammate, Jonathan Zebina, contracted glandular fever during his time at Roma and is now hoping that the same has not happened to Trezeguet.
"It’s the worst thing that can happen to a footballer," said the defender. "I had no strength at all. It only kept me out for a month but usually it lasts longer than that."
Olivier Kapo, another of Juventus’ French contingent, claims there is no need to be concerned about Trezeguet’s condition.
"David just had a bad virus," said the midfielder. "But he’ll be fresh and ready to go again for the match against Roma in a week."
Glandular fever is brought on by severe viruses and can last for several months. It can also lead to long-term fatigue problems.
