Fucking unbelievable

I think with a squad as fit as Inter's has been over the season you would be looking at a gap of a couple of points if that.

Bloody hell that's some injury list, how big is Juve's squad?

About 25-26 players in the first team, so at the time half was injured. Nedved, Marchionni and Chiellini are back now, although not fully fit.

Still gave Roma a whopping at the weekend, even with a big injury list, and in Rome as well.

Roma also had a massive injury and suspension list though (Totti, Perrotta, Cassetti, Juan, Cicinho, Taddei, Aquilani - Diamoutene, Motta, De Rossi, Pizarro), and their squad is smaller. They only had youth team players to come on really.

Is there any teams over there without a big injury list?

Inter

I knew you'd say that

They have had one or two, notably when they played Man Utd actually, but overall nothing in comparison to Juve, Roma and Milan who have all been hit hard. Interestingly they are also the biggest team in the league phyiscally, the most 'English' of any side.

Very biased blog really, not even bothering to point out the huge injury problems that Roma, the closest challengers last year, and Milan, who have a stronger squad that Juventus, also had. Might as well have covered injuries in general, it seemed very strange to only focus on Juve.

Given Milan's form last year and the fact they haven't really challenged for a long time I think it is a fair call as far as they are concerned, agree with Roma but then they are pretty much stuck to the level of last year. The guy isn't a Juve fan but I think the point he is making is that of the teams who have had bad injuries, Juve would have been the most likely to topple Inter.

Interesting theory.

Juve's infirmary empties

The international break has worked wonders for Juventus as Claudio Ranieri can welcome back a host of players for the game against Chievo.

The Old Lady are trying to keep the pressure on leaders Inter as they host lowly Chievo.

Azzurri winger Mauro Camoranesi has shrugged off his injury problems and young defender Paolo De Ceglie is finally fit after suffering a collapsed lung earlier in the season.

Marco Marchionni is also available and former Inter man Cristiano Zanetti is likely to be back in action.

Nicola Legrottaglie is unlikely to make it back for the Turin battle against Chievo, but he is on the road to recovery.

Amauri remains injured, but he is focusing on featuring in the Derby d'Italia against Inter on April 19.

---------------

Diego (week or so)
Momo Sissoko (possibly until DECEMBER if he needs another operation)
Mauro Camoranesi (couple of weeks)
Sebastian Giovinco (two weeks)
Jonathan Zebina (two weeks)
Paolo De Ceglie (two months)

That's right, the season is about to start. Seriously, will we ever have a fucking season without an injury list like Birmingham A&E on a Friday night?

Latest:

Sissoko - metatarsal - 20 days
Cannavaro - thigh - 15 days
Del Piero - thigh - 10 days
Grygera - calf - 7 days
Ariaudo - thigh - 7 days
Salihamidzic - thigh - 7 days
Felipe Melo - ankle - 5 days
Tiago - thigh - 5 days
Diego - thigh - 5 days

Starting to build up nicely as usual

I was just about to say so early in the season and all ready so many injuries. At least we have quite a bit of depth this season un like last season. Fabio, Melo and Diago. Our three big takes and our three best players so far. All injured

Oh... Juve Hospital gets crowded so early...

Just chill out for a week and all will be fine

The problem is that by then there will be another five, and the ones who are currently injured keep getting these little 1-2 week strains, fucks up the team.

Iaquinta needs operation

Juventus are reeling this morning after it emerged Vincenzo Iaquinta will need an operation on his left knee.

The 29-year-old has torn his meniscus and will be out for at least a month.

He is the third Juventus player to suffer the injury this season after Claudio Marchisio and Gigi Buffon.

Marchisio went under the knife earlier this month while Buffon has put off surgery until after Juventus’ match with Inter on December 6.

Iaquinta has been excellent for Juventus so far this season, scoring four goals in eight appearances in all competitions.

He is the Bianconeri’s top scorer in 2009-10.

------------------------------

For fucks sake! What the hell goes on at our club? Every single fucking season key players out, different ones every time.

Iaquinta (knee) - 1 month
Zebina (hamstring) - 3 weeks
Marchisio (foot) - 2 weeks
Del Piero (thigh) - 2 weeks
Salihamidzic (thigh) - 2 weeks
Tiago (thigh) - 2 weeks

pretty sure with the amount of players you'll have injured, you could field a team based on injuries.

Not too bad at the moment then.

Not if you discount missing our best striker this season, our best midfielder this season, and our talisman who has been top scorer for the last three years and top assister in two of those three years for all of the season so far.

I expect a big pick up in terms of attack when Del Piero returns, and it's no coincidence our form has dropped since Marchisio has been out.

Apparently Del Piero is closer to a return than thought, and could be on the bench for the return game with Maccabi next week. Obviously it will take him a few weeks to get up to speed but it will be great to have him back.

+1, Caceres cut his nose open in a clash with Cannavaro in training, he needs surgery. I was pretty sure he would play against Cassano as well, Grygera now

Buy Cassano already FFS.

we should join the juve hospital with the roma hospital and make a playstation league with the injured players ffs

Sissoko, 20-25 days, hamstring.

FUCK OFF!!!

It's quite normal for a player who has come back from a bad break to get a muscle strain, but it doesn't help us whatsoever. He and Melo were dynamite in midfield, now we will have to us Poorsen until Marchisio comes back.

Buffon (2 weeks)
Giovinco (4 weeks)
Iaquinta (2 weeks)
Trezeguet (6 weeks)
Poulsen (8 weeks)

Giovinco (3 weeks)
Iaquinta (2 weeks)
Trezeguet (5 weeks)
Poulsen (7 weeks)
Caceres (3 weeks)
Marrone (2 weeks)

Buffon seems to think he will be able to play tomorrow.

Marchisio is out for 20 days.

When will it fucking end?

I feel sorry for Ciro now, he has had little to work with at times. I'd like to see what experienced coaches would do in this situation.

Just fuck right off, ridiculous.

Marchisio's injury is our 42nd of the season.

We might get many of them back for week 27.

Amauri confirmed out for 20-25 days, that is the 52nd injury this season.

is there sumthing wrong with our training regime? there must be, or else we wouldnt have this many injuries

Definitely something wrong between our training regime and the cold weather in Vinovo, most of the injuries always happen around November-March.

Chiellini out for a month?

There are fears Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini could be out for a month after a suspected thigh strain.

The Italian international pulled up during the final stages of last night’s 2-1 victory away to Fiorentina.

Juve had completed their substitutions, so he had to limp on in a more advanced role that did not require him to run.

There are fears Chiellini suffered a thigh strain, an injury that would keep him out for a month.

The defender also played 90 minutes in Italy’s 0-0 friendly with Cameroon on Wednesday, but Alberto Zaccheroni did not complain.

“I understand Marcello Lippi’s intentions, as it was his final test before naming the World Cup squad and Giorgio is one of the youngest. We have no issue with that.”

It would be the latest in a series of around 50 injuries in the Bianconeri squad this season.

Mauro Camoranesi, Gianluigi Buffon, Amauri, Sebastian Giovinco and Martin Caceres are all out with muscular problems.

Vincenzo Iaquinta made his comeback this weekend after four months on the sidelines, while Christian Poulsen also returned from a long lay-off.

Alessandro Del Piero was unable to feature in Florence due to a muscular twinge, an increasingly common problem in the Juventus squad.

Momo Sissoko and Paolo De Ceglie also limped off during the Fiorentina match.

-------------------------

Fucking unbelievable

Around 80% of our injuries over the last three years have been muscular strains/twinges, that is not normal. It is killing us and costing us points, money and potentially more, something needs to be done about it, it's a disgrace how many injuries we pick up.

Really? Surely the vast majority of injuries at any club are muscular? What else is there, only breaks and joint damage aside from freak injuries and illness.

Juventus do get too many though, that's for sure.

Perhaps the percentage is pretty normal, but for such an amount with that percentage is abnormal.

Only a week out for Chie, phew. He will miss the Fulham (H) and Siena (H) games, not too much of a setback in context.

Manninger out for 20-25 days now. No Buffon or Manninger, fuck this shit.

Buffon, Manninger, Caceres, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Giovinco, Amauri.

66 injuries so far for this season, following Poulsen's tonight against Napoli. We don't know how bad it is yet. Closing in on the 75 of last season.

142 injuries in two years. I'd like to see some comparative figures from other clubs.
