A.C. MILAN: COMUNICATO UFFICIALE
11/11/2009
Oggi pomeriggio Thiago Silva è stato convocato dalla Nazionale Brasiliana per due partite amichevoli contro Inghilterra (14 novembre a Doha, Qatar) e Oman (17 novembre a Muscat, Oman). Il Milan ha deciso di rilasciare il giocatore, aderendo così alla richiesta dei verdeoro, nonostante questa fosse arrivata fuori tempo massimo secondo i Regolamenti della FIFA, alla luce dei buoni rapporti esistenti con la CBF stessa.

[This afternoon Thiago Silva was called up by the Brazilian NT for 2 friendlies against England (Nov 14 in Doha) and Oman (Nov 17 in Muscat). Milan has decided to release the player, agreeing to the Brazilian NT request, even though it arrived outside the time limits set forth in FIFA regulations, because of its good relations with the CBF (brazilian fa).]

FYI.

Also fyi, saw on eurosport/tuttomercatoweb/etc that Luisao had an emergency appendectomy this morning. Looks like Silva is his replacement.

He better not get hurt.
