Juventus coach fears the worst after midfielder injury

Published on: 17 April 2016

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was not in an overly-exuberant mood, despite his side’s 4-0 thrashing of Palermo, after an injury to one of his key players.

The Bianconeri have stretched their lead to a near-insurmountable nine points on second-place Napoli but a seemingly serious first-half injury to midfielder Claudio Marchisio has left a bitter-sweet taste in the mouth of the Juventus boss.

“Unfortunately, I fear the worst for Marchisio as doctors suspect a cruciate ligament rupture,” Allegri told Mediaset Premium.

Allegri then switched his focus to Sunday’s victory and the Bianconeri’s subsequent lead in the Serie A table.

“As for the match, it was important not to concede, but the Scudetto is not yet won,” the 48-year-old concluded.

“We are in the final sprint but there are still two wins needed at the minimum.”
