Azzurrini suffer Palladino blow

Juventus man Raffaele Palladino has been forced to pull out of Saturday’s Under-21 friendly match with England because of a knee injury.

The in-form striker, who scored a hat-trick in the Bianconeri’s match with Triestina on Monday, has been dealing with the problem in the past few weeks.

But the pain in his right knee has become more acute since meeting up with the Azzurrini, causing Pierluigi Casiraghi to replace him with Parma midfielder Daniele Dessena.

The Gialloblu player will join the rest of the team on Thursday afternoon, when the squad will depart for England.
