There’s bad news for Juventus striking star Vincenzo Iaquinta as he has been ruled out of action for another three weeks.
The former Udinese hitman was missing for yesterday’s rescheduled Week 31 clash against Parma and played just 12 minutes in last Saturday’s showdown against Milan.
Iaquinta damaged quadriceps last Tuesday in training and scans have revealed that the problem is more serious than initially suspected and will take at least three weeks to fully heal.
With the competition intense for places at Euro 2008, Iaquinta’s injury has come at an inopportune time and could prove costly.
The news means that unsettled forward Raffaele Palladino, who hit a superb goal against Parma, will have a greater chance of commanding a starting spot.
