Del Piero, only a strain

May 7, 2001

After having to leave the field during the second half of the match Juventus-Roma, today the diagnosis came for Alex Del Piero, and it's definitely encouraging for the team. It's about a muscle strain on the back of his left thigh. On Tuesday morning, "Pinturicchio" will undergo an ecography that will tell for sure how serious is the damage in his muscle. It is likely, however, that the Juventus fantasista will have to skip the Firenze match.

Meanwhile, on Monday, still with sadness on the eyes, the Juventus players got back at the Comunale to train. More intense work to those who haven't played the big match, gym work and relax, instead, for the ones who have played against the giallorossi. Fortunately the feared opposition from the fans didn't happen, opposition which could have come following the missing victory against Totti and Co. Some police patrols, however, have been present at the bianconeri training camp. The Juve triad, composed by Moggi, Giraudo and Bettega, was present at the team workplace.
