Joel Pohjanpalo didn’t play at the weekend when Venezia visited Cremonese. According to the One football website, the reason for the absence is plantar fasciitis, i.e. inflammation of the membrane tendon of the sole of the foot, which is often very painful.
Neither Jesse Joronen was not in the lineup. According to the Italian media, he is suffering from depression.
Pohjanpalo has played 13 Serie B matches this season, Joronen eight.
Venezia is in second place in the standings, one point behind Parma. The best two directly clear the Serie A place for next season.
Before Christmas, Venezia’s schedule still includes home matches against Südtirol and Lecco.
