Massimo Oddo will miss the rest of the season and is now a major doubt for Euro 2008 after undergoing meniscus surgery.

Milan released a statement this evening announcing that Oddo will have the operation on the medial meniscus ligament in his left knee tomorrow in Rome.

It is a bitter blow for the Rossoneri, who must already do without Ronaldo for the rest of the campaign.

Marcos Cafu, Serginho and Marek Jankulovski are struggling with injury, while Alessandro Nesta is suspended for the Serie A encounters with Cagliari and Juventus.

Oddo played the first 59 minutes of Milan’s 2-1 home defeat to Atalanta, but was substituted and replaced by Cristian Brocchi.

The extent of Oddo’s injury was not known and tests today revealed the serious problem requiring surgery.

It is not yet clear how long this will keep him sidelined, but the World Cup winner is now a doubt for Euro 2008, which kicks off on June 7.

it's not like oddo's young, and besides the 3 games kaka's missed all season i dont see any of these unforeseen injuries. the only real injuries we've had have been for players that were expected to have them. if anything we're lucky ambro has played more than 5 games all season.

how poor form considered unlucky? :rolleyes. if it's that easy, you can qualify anything as unlucky.

Like who? Seedorf? Rino?

Other than Ronaldo and Sergio, who else has been an 'injury' threat?

And the Ronaldo thing was unfortunate. It wasn't even the same weak injury that's been happening for some time.

And besides by this yardstick, I can safely say that Man U is a pathetic squad(since they have no 'cover' for Rooney and Ronaldo). Arsenal is pathetic since they have no cover for Fabregas. And what about Chelsea without Drogba? Pizarro? Since Sheva is considered a non-entity.

And Roma have Totti and Vucinic? And we know TOtti is injury prone. So Vucinic is their last line. So Roma have been lucky Vucinic hasn't had an injury.

I'm not saying our squad isn't understaffed. I'm trying to say, that some of what you guys want, like a 70,000 euro per week player on the bench is not really easy. Especially when your profits are a fraction of what teams in England and Spain earn.

As for Inter...well...two more years of winning just the scudetto and they'll be in quite a mess. -120 mill euro deficit. How cool is that?

Don't forget, Milan and Inter cannot mortgage their stadiums like Man U can.. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
