Milan rocked by injuries Thursday 1 February, 2007

Milan have suffered a double blow after Pippo Inzaghi and Nelson Dida picked up injuries in their Coppa Italia semi-final with Roma.

The Rossoneri have been plagued by injuries this season and their problems are not easing after last night’s 3-1 loss.

Dida has picked up a shoulder knock just weeks after he made his Serie A comeback, following a two-month lay-off because of knee ligament damage.

The Brazilian has undergone a preliminary examination and is set to be out for at least a month, although pessimistic reports suggest that the goalkeeper’s season may be over.

The No 1, who has yet to sign a new contract with the Rossoneri, fell on his shoulder after making a fine save from Daniele De Rossi. He’ll undergo more tests over the next few days.

Marco Storari, who joined the club from Messina last month, may now make his debut against Ascoli at the weekend.

Turning to Inzaghi, the striker limped off the Olimpico turf just 14 minutes after coming on as a substitute for Massimo Ambrosini.

The No 9 suffered a muscle strain which may keep him in the treatment room for three or four weeks.

Milan will visit Celtic on February 20 in the Champions League and Coach Carlo Ancelotti is desperate to have him back for that last 16 clash.

The Rossoneri only have Inzaghi, Alberto Gilardino and Ricardo Oliveira available in attack for Europe as Ronaldo is Cup-tied.

Storari will be a good replacement for Dida so no worries there, obviously inzaghi being injured is a concern as we are running out of fit and available strikers so it will probably be the xmas tree formation for the ascoli game.
I hope pippo will be fit for the celtic games as we surely need to progress in this seasons ucl!!

Oli should be playing next to Gila. No more xmas tree we play badly with it especially with 2 defensive mids

Well not just minutes to oliveira, but aubameyang should have also some minutes on the field, we can see if the kid has potential and perhaps he becomes a hero or something , you never know.
