In the team's 2008 pre-season, Andrade suffered the same injury and missed the entire 2008–09. In a press release dated 7 August, Juventus stated:"On 9 July 2008, during a training session at Pinzolo, the player Jorge Manuel Almeida Gomes de Andrade was the victim of another serious injury to his left knee (relapse of the fracture of the rotula) operated twice in the past season. A new osteosynthesis operation was thus needed, with the post-surgery prognosis being a number of months.
