Alessandro Del Piero faces his injury with philosophy. Exams have shown that the bianconero captain sustained a light strain on his left thigh, and the recovery time is around five weeks. "At first, especially because of the pain and of the negative feelings I got at the moment of the incident I was quite pessimistic about it, but now I’m much calmer", he said on his official site.

"I’m really sorry for the many matches I’ll have to miss in such a hot phase, and in particular for the double round against the Manchester. It just means I’ll have to catch up with this all when I come back on the pitch...", concluded Alex.
