Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero has been forced to watch on from the sidelines as his side made a convincing start to the season, with three wins in three matches against Chievo, Roma and Lazio.
The club icon will now hope to be back for Tuesday's Champions League match against Bordeaux, although according to TuttoSport, the chances of him making the team are slim.
Yesterday morning he did some extra work on the training ground, arriving early to do some running and athletic exercises, as well as some work with the ball.
Del Piero's injury occurred on 11 August, when in the traditional friendly against the Primavera team, he suffered a knock to his back, the pain later extending to his left thigh.
However, aside from the injury problem, the competition is now tougher than ever, with Diego also a possible competitor for Pinturicchio, even though the Brazilian also suffered an injury in yesterday's match with Lazio which may keep him out for around three weeks.
As for the other injured players, coach Ciro Ferrara is hoping to get back Zdenek Grygera, who recently suffered a contusion to his knee, while there are still doubts concerning Jonathan Zebina, even though he has clinically recovered from his Achilles heel inflammation.
Hasan Salihamidzic is unlikely to make it because of a problem to his fibula following the Serie A debut against Chievo.
