Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri was delighted with their 2-1 win over Bologna last night - their third on the bounce.

Pavel Nedved netted a crucial brace and Ranieri said afterwards: "Of course we have some problems, as the injuries are not letting up and with a game every three days several top players run the risk of missing up to six matches, even if it is a minor fitness issue.

"However, the lads who are replacing them are proving themselves up to the task and confirm that when Juventus make a move on the transfer market, it is always a carefully weighted decision."

Amauri has played in every match this season in all competition and seemed tired at the Dall'Ara.

"I am undoubtedly squeezing the juice out of some players, but over the course of the season hope to allow them some rest time too."
