Gatti trains separately after tackle from Juventus fan
· Yahoo Sports
Federico Gatti was the Juventus player who was targeted by a fan during the pitch invasion in their match against Next Gen, and the tackle from one Bianconeri supporter has now proven costly.
The centre-back appears to have suffered a minor injury during the incident, with Sport Mediaset reporting that he trained on his own during the recent session because the club could not risk having him work with the rest of the group.

Gatti Remains Important to Juventus
Gatti remains one of the most important players in the Bianconeri squad and could feature in many games for them this season if he stays at the club, although he is currently on the market.
While Juventus hope to cash in on the defender, Luciano Spalletti considers the Italian an important influence in the dressing room and will rely on him if the players ahead of him in the pecking order are unavailable.
The situation means Gatti remains an important option for Spalletti, even if he is not currently considered the first choice in every situation. His experience and influence could prove valuable during a long season, particularly when other defenders cannot play.
Injury Comes at Bad Time
Gatti is one of the top players in the squad, though others are considered better than him. That does not mean he will not be needed, making the injury particularly unfortunate with Juventus preparing for their season opener.
The timing is even more frustrating because the injury could have been avoided. Gatti was involved in an incident caused by the pitch invasion during the match against Next Gen, and the consequences have now affected his preparation for the new campaign.
Juventus will hope the injury is not serious and that Gatti can return to full training soon. With Spalletti likely to need his services at various points during the season, ensuring that the defender remains available could be important for the Bianconeri.
For Gatti, the immediate priority will be recovering fully and returning to training with his teammates. His future remains uncertain because Juventus are willing to consider offers for him, but his importance to Spalletti means he could still play a significant role if he remains in Turin.
