Marchisio: ‘No ligament damage’

By Football Italia staff

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has 'no cruciate ligament damage' according to the latest medical exams and his own club.

The midfielder's injury forced him out of the Azzurri camp today and sparked bitter controversy between Coach Antonio Conte and the Juventus supporters.

But the whole episode may have been illusory as the midfielder's further examinations with his own club revealed that there was no damage to the cruciate ligament, as reported by the club via a statement on their site.

“Claudio Marchisio, who returned this afternoon from the national team's training grounds, underwent exams by the Juventus doctors and Professor Flavio Quaglia,” reads the statement.

“He was then given a new MRI scan to the right knee, under the supervision of Professor Carlo Faletti at the Fornaca clinic.

“The visit and the exam have ruled out damage to the anterior cruciate ligament.

“Claudio will rest for a few days and his condition will be monitored daily.”
