He suffered the injury on Sept 9 or 10, Genny, and is supposed to be out 2-4 weeks. I’ve not heard any updates since that weekend, though.

Ah I see, thanks Martha. Any news on the length of his recovery?

Even my tolerance for pain has limits Martha. I am NOT sitting though a whole 90 minutes of Mlada Boleslav, Groningen, Aalborg or FC Zurich, regardless of who they are playing (I might make a small exception for Juve, but that’s pushing it).

No, I watched the highlights and filled in the rest with the Gazzetta articles.

And Genny, I didn’t understand either why Montella didn’t start. Maybe he was having a slight injury problem and couldn’t hold for 90 minutes. For Cassano, cf what Martha said.

Did you actually watch the games? HOW?! I failed miserably to find a single stream that would work for the Viola game.

(And Genny, Cassano is hurt — he injured a leg during the international break, during a friendly match specifically designed to help him get his fitness back. Doh!)

Bad result for Sampdoria… I don’t understand why Mazzarri left Montella out, and why Cassano hasn’t been playing!!!

Thank God for Jankovic!!! I was almost having an heart attack watching the game!
