Player Talk : Zebina

Zebina KO'd by knee injury
Tuesday 8 January, 2008

Jonathan Zebina will be out of action for approximately 10 days after the Juventus defender was struck by a knee injury.

The Frenchman picked up the problem in his right knee during yesterday’s training session and tests have now confirmed a sprain to the collateral medial ligament.

It could have been worse considering the incident, so the Bianconeri medical staff are pleased he will only be sidelined for around 10 days.

No more serious lesions have been discovered on the right knee ligament and he will undergo further tests when Juventus return from their mid-season training camp in Malta.

He will definitely miss this weekend’s Serie A match with Catania and probably only be fit for the bench for next week’s encounter with Sampdoria.

Jorge Andrade remains a long-term injury absentee, so after Domenico Criscito’s move back to Genoa the options in defence are limited.
