Martin Caceres was overjoyed after marking his Juventus comeback with a goal, but joked about another injury.
The defender hadn’t started a game since early October, but made his return and scored in a 3-1 victory away to Napoli.
“It was important for me to score and play tonight, as I had never been out for such a long time,” Caceres told Sky Sport Italia.
Martin Caceres was overjoyed after marking his Juventus comeback with a goal, but joked about another injury.
The defender hadn’t started a game since early October, but made his return and scored in a 3-1 victory away to Napoli.
“It was important for me to score and play tonight, as I had never been out for such a long time,” Caceres told Sky Sport Italia.
“It was a difficult game and I’m happy with the win. Napoli are a strong side and it’s a shame we lost the Super Cup to them in Doha, but today we won 3-1 and made up for it.”
Roma had hoped to go top of the table this weekend, but instead Juventus restored a three-point advantage.
“After three years of winning it was inevitable this season would be more difficult. Every game is to be treated as a final.”
Unfortunately Caceres was forced off the field early by a suspected dislocated shoulder.
“Every time I play, something happens to me!” he laughed.
