Andrade disaster strikes Juve
Juventus have lost defender Jorge Andrade for the entire season after tests showed he requires another knee operation.
The 30-year-old Portuguese international has had a disastrous time since joining the Bianconeri in 2007.
He managed just four Serie A appearances before suffering a devastating fracture of the left kneecap and has been out of action ever since.
He was meant to come back into the squad for this campaign, but this afternoon it was announced he would require another operation on the same injury.
Andrade pulled up during Thursday’s training session at the Pinzolo camp and tests have now confirmed the worst case scenario.
The former Deportivo La Coruna star must now fly to Lisbon for the surgery to be performed by Professor Martins on Monday.
It will be the third operation on the left knee in the last 12 months and Juventus medical staff do not expect him to be back at all this season.
The blow could force the club back on to the transfer market, although they have reinforced with the arrival of Olof Mellberg.

We don't need to go back to the mercato. We have Mellberg, Knezevic and Grygera to cover to Legro. If we have another injury to a CB, we will have to pick someone up in January. I am sad for Jorge.

Andrade under the knife
Juventus defender Jorge Andrade's career is hanging by a thread after he underwent knee surgery.
[quote]The Portuguese international has barely played in the last two seasons due to various injuries and will miss all of the 2008-09 term as well.
He suffered the recurring fractured kneecap during pre-season training at Pinzolo last week.
This evening Juventus announced he had undergone surgery to reduce the fracture to his left kneecap in Lisbon.
The operation was “an ostheosynthesis using tissue taken from the hip-bone.â€
