Jussiè and Gorcouff will not recover while there is a slight possibility of recovery for Chamakh. During the press conference held on the eve of the match between Bordeaux and Juventus, Laurent Blanc still nurtures some hope to recover the Franco-Moroccan:
"After the injury suffered by Chamakh we had little of seeing him on the field tomorrow. In the last 48 hours he improved a lot and we hope that this evolution continues until tomorrow".
The injuries have not changed Blanc’s plans: "I will prepare the match in the same way I would have prepared it if I had all the players at my disposal. It is always interesting to play against Juventus, at home, as I do not have to do anything when it comes to motivation".
"Since the last match, Juve changed their way of playing since they are fielding only one striker. There will not be Iaquinta but there will be Diego and Sissoko and I think there will also be Juventus’ best player: Gigi Buffon".
The match will probably be a decisive one for the first place in Group A: "I will not be original if I say that the first place would give us a greater advantage for the final 16. We saw what happened last year. If Lyon had won the group they would have avoided Barcellona in the final 16. There would also be the advantage of playing the second match at home".
The bianconeri will definitely have more pressure compared to the girondini: "Juventus is playing for their qualification and therefore has more pressure because if they had to lose against us they would have to play for qualification in the last match seeing that Bayern will most probably beat Maccabi Haifa. We only have the pressure of winning the first place. They still need to qualify".
Bordeaux is advancing well in the Champions League, but in the championship they had some problems lately:
"A positive result against Juve would help us, sure, but in any case we would find a perfect situation: we are already qualified and we will playing in a sold-out stadium against Juventus. This is a great pleasure, even though the greatest pleasure of football is winning. In the Champions League things are going excellently while in the championship we have encountered some difficulties, but nothing worrying. There are teams with much greater problems. If I could I would play this match myself".
