Federico Gatti and Juventus
Wednesday
Juventus defender Federico Gatti suffered an ankle injury after a supporter invaded the pitch during a friendly and accidentally slid into him. Gatti subsequently missed training and is now a major doubt for Juventus’ Serie A opener.
The unusual incident happened after the first half as Gatti greeted supporters and several fans entered the field. The injury has raised questions about how Juventus organise the traditional friendly and whether future pitch access should be tightened.
