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.

Why play the Christmas tree when we have at least two fit strikers. And when we play the Christmas tree we don't play Gourcuff with Kaka behind the striker - IMO that would give us the pace we need upfront. Seedorf would be better playing behind them as he is too slow to play further up the field.

Good point

The next time we play the xmas tree it should look like this

Oddo--Bonera--Maldini--Janku
-----Rino---Pirlo---Seedorf-----
--------Gourcuff--Kaka---------
--------------Oliveira------------

This is the only way I could see it working

No offence to ur post .. But the team, as a whole cant play this formation.

I dont mean to act like 'mr. know it all' .. We need certain players that can play it

Goucuff is too young and everyone seems to think he has it in him to be a part of the first XI, he has potential, but it is too early for him.
