Juve await Zanetti verdict
Juventus will have to wait until Tuesday to discover the seriousness of Cristiano Zanetti’s leg injury.
The Turin club’s key midfielder limped out of the 2-0 win over Genoa on Sunday night after feeling a twinge in his right thigh.
The 2006 free transfer from Inter has suffered a muscle strain, but tests which will determine the exact entity of the problem will only be conducted on Tuesday.
Early indications are that Zanetti will be out of action for around 20 days which will be a big blow to Claudio Ranieri’s Champions League chasing side.
The Old Lady will face Napoli at the Olimpico on Sunday and Ranieri will have a number of changes to make.
As well as being without the injured Zanetti, the Coach will also be shy of the suspended trio of Jonathan Zebina, Nicola Legrottaglie and Mauro Camoranesi.
The loss of the first two means that the Juve defence should line up with Zdenek Grygera, Guglielmo Stendardo, Giorgio Chiellini and Cristian Molinaro.
The latter was absent from Juve’s victory last night at Marassi after he was sidelined with an energy sapping fever.
On the positive side, Pavel Nedved will return to action after serving his two-match ban for his dismissal in the 0-0 derby against Torino.
