FIFA will reportedly pay Claudio Marchisio’s salary until the Juventus midfielder recovers from his injury.
The Italian international suffered a serious knee injury during the Azzurri’s training session on Friday, with reports indicating that the Juve midfielder damaged his anterior cruciate ligament which will thus see him miss the rest of the season.
According to Sky Sport, football’s governing body will take care of Marchisio’s salary until he recovers, as part of a policy put into place which implies that FIFA will pay a player’s salary if he suffers an injury while on international duty.
The 29-year-old has made 38 appearances in all competitions for La Vecchia Signora this season, scoring two goals and making seven assists in the process.
