It's not how tall someone is that counts.

It's all about how strong someone is, and Ribery, Aguero and Messi are far, far harder to knock of the ball than Giovinco, not to mention vastly more talented.

Chiellini out for a month



Juventus are hit with terrible news, as Giorgio Chiellini will be out for a month after the thigh strain suffered on international duty.
The defender pulled up during the opening minutes of Italy’s 2-0 win in Ukraine on Tuesday.

This afternoon the official Bianconeri website confirmed the worst case scenario.

“Tests showed a first degree lesion of the muscle in the right thigh. The prognosis for a complete recovery is 30 days.”

It is a huge blow for Juventus, who are in seventh place and struggling to qualify for Europe.

Alessandro The Waterboy is also a major risk for Sunday’s Serie A clash with Roma, along with Jorge Martinez and Armand Traoré.

Quagliarella to return to training



Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella is to return to training again following a long injury lay-off.

The Italy international tore ligaments in his knee against Parma back in January and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

Even so, Juventus plan to take up their option to sign Quagliarella outright from Napoli.

“After Easter I will start working again here, even if I will be apart from the group,” Quagliarella told Juventus' official website.

“I am always at the Olimpico for our games so I see my teammates often, but it has made me very happy to come and say 'hi' to them today.”

Asked about his recovery, he said: “Everything is going well. I am satisfied.”

Iaquinta is out for a while with a knee injury. Smart thinking on his part. I guess he figured it'll be harder for Juve to get rid of him if he's injured.

Juventus have Pirlo worry
By Football Italia staff - http://www.football-italia.net/node/13167

Andrea Pirlo will have to prove his fitness ahead of the Lazio game after he picked up a problem in Juventus training on Thursday.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Italian international failed to complete today’s session because of a muscle complaint.

The summer signing from Milan will reportedly undergo tests on Friday to see how serious the issue is and whether he could feature on Saturday.

Juventus, joint Serie A leaders with Lazio, haven’t played without the 2006 World Cup winner yet this season.

Pirlo has started and completed all 10 of the Old Lady’s League matches under new boss Antonio Conte.

This is why picking up Montolivo would be a great idea...

Quagliarella undergoes surgery
10 January 2012
http://www.soccerway.com/news/2012/Janu ... s-surgery/?

Juventus have announced on their website that striker Fabio Quagliarella has successfully undergone surgery on his fractured cheekbone.

The former Napoli and Udinese attacker sustained the facial injury in Sunday's 1-0 Serie A win over Lecce, forcing him from the pitch just 23 minutes into the first half.

It has not been announced how long Quagliarella will be out of action for following the surgery, but the forward will have to rest for at least the next seven days.

"Fabio Quagliarella has undergone surgery after sustaining a fractured cheekbone in Sunday’s victory over Lecce. The operation lasted 20 minutes and was supervised by Dr Libero Tubino at the Fornaca clinic in Turin," a statement on the site read.

"The 28-year-old is set to be discharged Tuesday and has been ordered to rest for a week. On his return to action, the striker must avoid contact to the affected area for a certain period, before stepping up his workload with the use of a carbon fibre protective mask."

After scoring nine goals in 17 Serie A matches last campaign, Quagliarella has found the net just once in nine league games in 2011/12 and has slipped behind Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic in the pecking order.

I rolled my ankle last night, probably out a month. I'll give you guys day to day updates.

I can give you a kick in the bollocks if you want something to take your mind off your sore ankle.

[Bagg10]

No, but I might if i kicked you in the bollocks...

Flagg's mind is on his sore ankle? I knew Rubentini had their brains in their nether parts but that's taking it to a whole new level.

20 days for Barzagli, 10 for Chiellini
By Football Italia staff

Juventus have confirmed the anticipated recovery times for Andrea Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini after tests were carried out on respective injuries.

Barzagli was removed before half time of Juve’s 1-1 draw with Chievo at the weekend complaining of a calf problem, whilst Chiellini was forced to finish the same game with a similar complaint only because the Bianconeri had used all their substitutions.

Tests have since been carried out on the duo and the club has now confirmed the varying severity of each player’s injury.

Barzagli’s calf strain is likely to see him miss up to three weeks of action - including the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg with Milan - whilst Chiellini’s lesser inflammation rules him out for a minimum of 10 days and Juve’s next two fixtures.

For the midweek clash with Bologna, Antonio Conte is likely to use Leonardo Bonucci and Martin Caceres as the centre-back pairing.

Caceres out for 2-6 months?
By Football Italia staff

It is feared Juventus could lose Martin Caceres for anything from two to six months after his knee injury in the Trofeo TIM.

The Uruguayan defender slipped on the choppy turf at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari last night and badly sprained his left knee.

He was stretchered off and there were immediately concerns he might’ve damaged the collateral ligament.

More tests are needed, but already rumours are filtering through from the Bianconeri medical staff that they fear the worst.

If the ligament damage is confirmed, then Caceres could be out of action for anything from two to six months.

Juventus played in the Trofeo TIM tournament, which saw them beat Milan 1-0 and lose 1-0 to Inter in the 45-minute mini-matches.
