Juventus’ Alessandro Del Piero Doubtful For Roma Clash

Struggling Serie A giants Juventus may have to make do without the services of experienced attacker Alessandro Del Piero when they lock horns with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday evening.

Del Piero sustained an injury during Juventus’ regular training session on Thursday and was forced to leave the training ground due to the muscular problem, Tuttosport reports.

The 36-year-old forward will undergo an examination later on Thursday to clarify the extent of the adductor injury, but Juventus fear that the club’s all-time leading scorer won’t be match fit in time for the match against the Lupi.

The possible absence of Del Piero is the second blow on the injury front this week after defender Giorgio Chiellini picked up a knock playing for Italy against Ukraine.

Juventus sit seventh in the league table at the moment, trailing sixth-placed Roma by five points.
