It is just a contusion so it is nothing to worry about but he's so fragile. At least you get the same recurring injury with Andrade. All last season with Marchionni it was his knee, his ankle, his foot, his finger, his finger in his ass, his finger in someone else's ass, etc.

Ex-Juve Star Tudor Retires

Former Juventus and Croatia defender Igor Tudor has retried from football at the age of just 30 due to injury.

The giant Hajduk Split centre back was once regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young defenders back in the late 1990s, however his career has been plagued by injuries, and at the age of just 30 he has finally decided to call it a day.

Tudor began his career with Hajduk, and attracted the interest of a host of European giants, eventually earning a move to Juventus in 1998.

The Croatian showed early promise in Turin, and was a constant danger off set-pieces with his head, scoring 15 goals for Juve in 115 appearances.

However, he suffered from chronic injury problems, particularly to his ankle, which gradually slowed him down, and in 2005/06 he was loaned out to Siena.

The injuries continued and Tudor almost retired in 2007, but eventually decided to return to Hajduk, thus ending a nine-year association with Juventus.

In October 2007 he played his first game for 16 months, but his troublesome ankle injury just would not disappear, and he has now finally decided that enough is enough.

Tudor also won 55 caps for Croatia between 1997 and 2006, playing in two World Cups and a European Championships.

In the match against Borussia, Cristiano (Zanetti) was hit hard on his right thigh and ultrasound scans have identified a muscle contusion. The midfielder will need to rest for three days and then he'll be able to train again.

Does anyone know how serious the injuries of Molinaro and Knezevic are?

[red]

Molinaro should be okay because he just a wallop on the hip.

Knezevic strained his knee, so he could be out for a wee while.

I don't wish injuries to anyone, but when Molinaro went off 6 letters appeared in front of my eyes G R O S S O.

Keep on dreaming.

Old Lady await Dario diagnosis

Juventus are facing a nervous wait to ascertain the extent of the injury to Croatian defender Dario Knezevic.

The 26-year-old international joined the Old Lady from Livorno after representing his nation at Euro 2008 this summer.

The deal was clouded by controversy after Torino claimed they had already secured Knezevic’s signature.

But the Bianconeri’s joy at landing the centre-back has been replaced by concerns over his fitness.

Knezevic missed the latter part of Euro 2008 due to a knee injury and the problem seems to have reoccurred after he was stretchered off during yesterday’s Emirates Club clash against Hamburg.

Tests are scheduled for later today to reveal the extent of the problem in Knezevic’s left knee, but there are fears that it could be a serious, recurring injury.
