Flu-riddled Juventus could be forced into cancelling Old Trafford encounter

FLU-RIDDLED Juventus have not ruled out the possibility of asking for tonight’s Champions League clash with Manchester United to be postponed.

The Serie A giants were forced to cancel last night’s intended training session after leaving Turin without five leading members of their squad and have another three running temperatures, making them doubtful for the Old Trafford encounter.

Even coach Marcello Lippi was spluttering as he revealed the tale of woe and while the Juventus chief claimed the problem was still not serious enough for them to approach UEFA, he admitted if there were any more virus victims overnight, he would have no alternative other than to ask for the game to be put back.
