Inter Milan and Juventus to miss first choice goalkeepers in Derby d’Italia – Serie A Update
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Juventus seem to have the same issue for the upcoming Derby d’Italia, as both the clubs are going to step onto the field without their first choice goalkeepers.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julio-Cesar-c19961, are both recovering from injuries and a quick return might not be possible for the two stars.
The 33-year-old Italian international and Bianconeri gloves-man, Buffon, picked up a collarbone injury during the training sessions last week. Further reports revealed that the legendary shot stopper will be sidelined for at least 2 weeks in order to have
a full recovery.
Buffon has already missed out on the games against Genoa and Fiorentina, and now his presence is highly unlikely at San Siro. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Storari-c23751 will be taking up the responsibility and is likely to be used as the first choice keeper in the absence of Buffon.
Buffon being in the twilight of his career as a football player has had frequent injury issues lately and the former Juventus goalkeeper, Stefano Tacconi, believes that he has lost his touch.
“I think that as things stand right now Napoli’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Morgan-De-Sanctis-c26801 is a better goalkeeper than Buffon. After Gigi’s serious injury and long lay-off, it’s very difficult for him to return to the player he was. He’ll never be the same,” said the former gloves-man.
On the other hand, Julio Cesar failed to finish the game against Atalanta, where the Nerazzurri secured a solitary point after a 1-1 draw. Cesar was substituted after the first half and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Castellazzi-c22508 appeared on the field. The substitute goalkeeper later
saved Inter from yet another defeat by saving an 89th minute penalty kick by German http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-c10837.
According to reports from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, the Brazilian keeper will undergo medical examination today. However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player will not be able to recover any time before the weekend and will miss the game against Juventus.
The match will be a tough call for both the teams as Inter are keen to find consistency and will have the advantage of being at home. The Lady Killers, meanwhile, are keen to keep the top spot in the league by defeating Ranieri's men.
