C. Marchisio will not play this season

"Juventus" defender Claudio Marchisio suffered a cruciate ligament injury during the training camp of the Italian national team and dropped out of the lineup for a long time. This player's absence will be particularly painful for the strongest team in Serie A, as they will not be able to play another leader, Paul Pogba, until the end of May. In the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, "bianconeri" will have to play without two main midfielders. A press release from the Italian Football Federation confirmed that Marchisio injured his knee during the national team training. Recovery after such an injury usually takes more than half a year, so the 29-year-old footballer can only return to the field at the end of 2015.
