Claudio Marchisio is set to miss Italy’s Euro 2016 qualifier with Bulgaria and possibly the rest of the domestic season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury.
The Italian midfielder was injured during training at the national team’s training base in Coverciano and Azzurri doctors have confirmed the worst.
RAI and Tuttosport initially reported that Marchisio had suffered cruciate ligament injury which would result in a lengthy spell on the side-lines.
That news was later confirmed in a statement by the Italian FA.
“During the warm-up the player was believed to be suffering from just a sprain to his right knee,” Italy doctor Enrico Castellacci said in a statement released earlier today
“An MRI scan was performed immediately at the Fanfani Institute in Florence, which showed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.
“After consulting with the medical staff of Juventus, it was decided that the player will return to his club for treatment.”
Due to the nature of the injury, Marchisio could spend anything up to six months on the side-lines.
Juventus are already without Paul Pogba who will miss 50 days of the remaining season, and most importantly, the Bianconeri’s Champions League Quarter Final game against Monaco.
this news has proper pissed me off!!!what a blow!!!
The most important thing is that Claudio gets the best treatment and he can come back from the injury with all the confidence he gained this season. I don’t wanna think about the champions league, i was pissed off about it all morning and i don’t wanna ruin my weekend as well, is a big blow for our hopes in the CL but we have to focus on getting into the semis and from there on just give our best with what we have on the field. I believe this is a chance to see Sturaro get some confidence and maybe throw Coman and Pepe into the Battlefield more often in this last 2 months of the season.
This is making our job against Monaco way harder because now we won’t have two of our starting midfielders playing. Wish him the best of recoveries.
Marchisio injury might not be as bad as we initially thought. Not ACL according to the Juve medical teams announcement
he’s still gonna be out for a while .. his season is done.

That is good to hear. Anyway he should rest and recover fully.
So, is he going to be able to play some games for Juve this season? I guess he’s still out for Monaco games?
I was never the biggest Marchisio fan but I think he has been phenomenal this year, he really changed my perception towards him. Something changed last year, when he became a substitute for pretty much all season due to the emergence of Pogba. But I think Marchisio became a better player because of it, he matured and learned a good lesson.. He’s been great this year, this really pisses me off.
Pogba and Marchisio are huge losses for this team.. I think we can still take Monaco out, but it’ll be tough to progress any further without key cogs like that ..
So now Marchisio is only out for 2-3 weeks? You guys can thank me. At 11:11 today i made a wish that would see Marchisio recover a rapid rate.. so it was spoken, and so it would be made real :p
Thank you John, you are a saint!
Dunno about you guys, but I don’t really like what Elkann has been saying about the whole Marchisio injury thing. It’s a bit immature
There’s obviously alot of hatred there … Conte is a dick in general, pompous and prima donna .. Elkann should probably shut his mouth since he rarely says anything at all, this probably wasn’t the right thing to open his trap about ..
They’re all jerks, every single one of them …
I prefer Allegri to Conte anyways …
Yea theyre all dicks, but maybe not Marotta. Seems like a nice guy
just to let everyone know im bloody 38 today.football playing days fast running out lol!FORZA ITALIA TONIGHT!
Good on ya. You know what they say.. when you cant play, teach.
cheers mate!yeah ive done some 5 aside managing.got my step-son and a neighbour to start,before i kew it i had two under 16s from notts county playing for me.because it was under 16s level the talent and standard was great.i will be honest…..i was 100% motivated to do it and inspired because of one man……Antonio Conte.
Love it
Happy birthday then! Here’s to hoping Italy gives you a fitting present. 5-0 win? 🙂
thanks Maarten dude,well…….would be lovely,but with the injuries we have got,im thinking struggle here tonight….the conte factor and hard work should be enough….i hope lol!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
So now there are reports that Conte has received death threats from Juve fans because they blame him for the Marchisio injury. Conte might now be considering quitting the Italy job because of this. Whatever happened between Juve and Conte, this is not the right.
no fighting man,its my birthday!!!fucking hell,hope this shit aint true.
Im sure theres so much behind the whole Conte quitting fiasco that they arent making public. But idk why the fans are acting like dicks. Its mot his fault Marchisio was injured.
I know, but with this he actually gains a reason to quit.
Not really. Its just a bunch of pussy fans who act tough online because its the only place they can act tough.
Conte screwed up taking the Italy job. Shouldve waited a bit more before taking a job.
I wouldn’t feel safe even if they are just online threats.
I’m coming for you.
*Dives into a closet, door blocked by 5 chairs and 10 tables, rifle ready*
10 tables? Nah, that can’t be true. Would have believed you if you said bikes. You are defenseless and I know it.
Damn it 🙁 How long will it take you to arrive here? It’s been 3 days of fear for me.
Already been there, I did what I planned, now we wait.
You sure you were in the right house? I was at my dads when you said you’re coming for me, but i’m at home now. Might have just missed me.
FUCK….
Tell your dad you love him, you know…, just in case.
i know it sucks not having marchisio and pogba but there still should be no excuses to not beat Monaco
this is true,we are juve!
Whats going on with Italy? I’m watching Holland (terrible too), but i see they are 2-1 down.
Zaza stinks … I don’t want him anywhere near Juve.
Wow, it seems Marchisio may already fit enough to start training and could well be on his way to featuring in our match against empoli. I knewi had powers, but i nwver knew thwy were this strong :p
Anyways, i would rather see Marchisio rested and train very lightly prior to the Empoli match and actually not see him play against them. If im not mistaken, hes played the most magches in Juve jersey, and this is a sign he should take it easy for a brief moment.
You certainly have powers, but your typing powers have suffered.
Typo check is for suckers.
Tehn ti msut maen m’i nto a sckuer..
