Juventus hope to have Mauro Camoranesi back in action before Christmas as the collarbone injury the winger suffered on Saturday is not as serious as initially feared.
'Not serious'
The 32-year-old opened the scoring against Reggina Calcio before falling badly when attempting a header, forcing him off at half-time. Camoranesi underwent scans today, the results of which left the Bianconeri optimistic. "It all depends on the pain he suffers, but the dislocation is not serious and there's a chance that we could have him back before Christmas," read a club statement. The midfield player, who was sidelined by a thigh injury earlier this season and has started just four Serie A games, will sit out the visit of FC BATE Borisov on 10 December when Juve will be confident of recording the point they need to win UEFA Champions League Group H.
