Season over for Marchionni?
Thursday 24 January, 2008
There are fears in the Juventus camp that midfielder Marco Marchionni’s season could be over after limping off against Inter last night.
The former Parma man had to be replaced by David Trezeguet after just seven minutes of the Coppa Italia quarter-final first leg when he pulled up and seemed to be in severe pain.
It was first suspected that the Roman winger was suffering a recurrence of a muscular strain that had sidelined him for a long period last year, but it has now emerged that he left the pitch due to a serious blow to his left foot.
The extent of Marchionni’s injury will be investigated when he reports for training today, but there are fears that he may have fractured his fifth metatarsal.
The fifth metatarsal is the outermost bone in the foot and is easily damaged but requires a long time to heal.
The recovery span for such an injury falls between two and four months, but returning to kicking a ball can be a long and painstaking process.
If the news is bad for Marchionni today it is possible that he will play no further part in the Old Lady’s season.
