PARIS (June 28, 1999 4:21 p.m. EDT http://www.sportserver.com) - Zinedine Zidane has delayed his return to practice by one week after experiencing minor problems with a cartilage operation last month.
"I'll resume training with Juve on July 10," Zidane said in Marseille. His Italian club Juventus begins preseason training July 3.
Zidane, who underwent knee cartilage surgery on May 12, said he "still felt a slight pain. You can't say I'm fully recovered but I'm not at all worried.
"I had some difficulties after my operation probably because I wanted to return too quickly," said the world player of the year.
