Juventus Manninger out 15-20 days
Posted by: admin : Category: Soccer news
Alex Manninger will miss another 15-20 days with a right thigh injury, adding to Juventus goalkeeping worries with starter Gianluigi Buffon already out for a month with a similar injury.
Juventus reported Monday that medical tests on Manninger revealed a muscle strain.
Third-choice Antonio Chimenti played in Juves 3-3 draw with Siena on Sunday and will likely get the nod for the Europa League return game with Fulham and Juves next Serie A match against Sampdoria.
Also, Juve defender Jose Martin Caceres has an abdominal problem and will head to Barcelona for tests Tuesday since the Spanish club holds his rights.
