De Ceglie suffered collapsed lung
Thursday 5 February, 2009

Juventus wide man Paolo De Ceglie will be out for around 45 days with the injury he sustained against Napoli last night.

The Old Lady breathed a sigh of relief after winning a penalty shoot-out against Napoli to progress to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

But it wasn't such a good evening for youngster De Ceglie who had to go off after taking the weight of Marcello Zalayeta following a crunching tackle.

While he didn't break a rib, De Ceglie did suffer a collapsed lung as air was able to reach his pluvial cavity.

The injury isn't too serious but causes extreme discomfort.

The Juve medical staff believe De Ceglie should rest for around 45 days before he can return to action.
