Milan have Dida doubt
Friday 10 November, 2006 :: channel4.com
Milan are dealing with another injury dilemma as goalkeeper Nelson Dida may miss the Roma clash on Saturday.
“Nelson has a back problem and was not able to train today,†said Coach Carlo Ancelotti in Friday’s pre-match Press conference.
The Rossoneri have suffered several blows during the week, as Gennaro Gattuso and Giuseppe Favalli will both be out of action until 2007, adding up to the recently injured Massimo Ambrosini, Serginho and Kakha Kaladze.
“We will see if he will recover in time for tomorrow’s game,†added the former Milan midfielder.
“We have many injured players and I think this is due to the fact that we do not have enough time to rest between matches.
“Take Gattuso for example, he has never suffered an injury [knee ligament damage] like the one he is dealing with now.
“Roma are maybe the worst opponents we could face in this moment, they are strong and have very talented players in the midfield such as Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta.
“However, we are forced to return to being the real Milan, which play with enthusiasm and courage. We are very motivated and we want to start well.â€
Ancelotti, unsurprisingly, could not avoid questions on the latest rumours speculating he may leave the club in June, seeing the difficulties encountered so far this term.
“Journalists have been speaking about this for the past five years and I don’t think Adriano Galliani’s renewal of trust in me will stop you all from continuing,†said the smiling Coach.
On a different note, Galliani dismissed Friday’s reports suggesting the club was considering loaning Ricardo Oliveira to Sao Paulo.
“Oliveira has the club’s full trust and will not leave, neither in January, nor on a loan or in any other kind of deal,†read an official note on the club’s website.
And the injury-show continues... I can't imagine Kalac in such an important match like the one tomorrow... (IMG:
