Simone Barone Rumours and Transfers

03 10 2007

The shadow of derby day defeat is looming large over Torino as influential midfielder Simone Barone will be sidelined for two months.

After a four-year wait for the return of the Derby della Mole, the Granata were shaken by a late David Trezeguet winner last weekend.

As boss Walter Novellino was recovering from a stinging defeat he received news that Barone had damaged ligaments in his knee.

The ex-Palermo man is unlikely to feature before Week 15's battle against Inter and there are other injury woes for Toro.

Central defender Cesare Natali has strained his thigh and may miss Sunday's game against Sampdoria.

Meanwhile, Gianluca Comotto and Alvaro Recoba have missed training to recover from muscle fatigue.
