De Ceglie comes home
Wednesday 24 June, 2009

Paolo De Ceglie is on his way home after suffering 'a traumatic distortion to his left calf' against Belarus at the European Under-21 Championship.

The 22-year-old Juventus defender was hit hard after just 14 minutes of Italy's 2-1 victory, which booked their place in the semi-final against Germany.

Juventus will be particularly aggrieved as Cristian Molinaro, their other left-back, is also out of action until October.

The Bianconeri are trying to add numbers to the position ahead of next season and have been linked with Lyon's Fabio Grosso.

Napoli were also interested in signing De Ceglie this summer, but might think twice now that he has suffered an injury.
