Juventus trained in the afternoon today, to start preparing Wednesday's game against Catania. The squad was divided in two groups: those who played against Cagliari had a light session, to which Zanetti and Zebina took part, as they're on their way to recovering from their respective injuries.
Meanwhile Juventus' medical staff announced that David Trezeguet will be operated on at the Fornaca Clinic tomorrow morning; Prof. Giuliano Cerulli and Prof. Flavio Quaglia will be carrying out the surgery.
First of all it will be necessary to carry out an arthroscopy, to examine the hamstring and evaluate the damage suffered against Zenit, and then the damage itself will be repaired. It must be stressed that Trezeguet's injury is brand new; it occurred during the Champions League game, and has nothing to do with his past hamstring problems.
David will rest for fifteen days after the operation, and will start his special rehabilitation treatments in the following fifteen-twenty days. Recovery times may vary from a minimum of three and a half months up to four-five months at most.
Gigi Buffon, who had to be replaced during the half-time break of the game against Cagliari, underwent ultrasound scans today. The keeper stretched a muscle in his right thigh; this caused a muscle contracture, but from today's tests it looks as if there was no damage.
In any case Gigi will undergo further tests on Wednesday. Therefore he'll be missing the midweek game and it looks like he'll probably be missing Saturday's game too, as the prognosis for this kind of injury is usually about 10 days.
Camoranesi's condition will be checked on again tomorrow, whereas Alessandro Del Piero will be available again for Wednesday's game against Catania. Claudio Ranieri will be speaking about the match against the Sicilian side in the usual press conference held on the eve of the match, tomorrow at the Media Center in Vinovo from 12.30 pm onwards.
