Yeah i cant see him as no1 captain either. When Paolo retires Ambro becomes Captain and Gattuso probably vice captain

Gattuso is one of the best friends of Materazzi.

Yup Matrix rescued Gattuso from a bar altercation supposedly. But everytime I see the two...this is what comes to my mind.



Rino is the short guy on the right of course. The one with super healing powers.

Gattuso fractures wrist in fall! Sunday 7 September, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another bizarre injury has struck the Azzurri, as Gennaro Gattuso fell into the dug-out and broke his wrist!

The Milan midfielder was taking part in a friendly run-out with the Beretti team of unemployed players at the Gradisca d’Isonzo training ground this afternoon.


He tumbled into the dug-out where the Italian bench was placed, hitting his head and left wrist.


Gattuso has been taken to hospital for X-Rays, as the initial diagnosis is a fractured wrist that could well require surgical intervention.


Even if it is only a bad knock, it is likely that will rule him out of Wednesday’s encounter with Georgia.


It is the latest odd injury to strike the Italy squad during these 2010 World Cup qualifiers.


Fabio Grosso fractured two ribs during a fall in the 2-1 win in Cyprus last night and Alessandro Gamberini dislocated his right shoulder just 60 seconds into the same match.


Gamberini’s shoulder was in such a bad state that he had to be put under general anaesthetic in the local hospital for medics to pop it back into place.

Damn it.

I really think Lippi must call other players now.

Looks like Ringhio is out of luck right now. This is the second time he returns with an injury.

I hope Rino recovers soon!

That said, the fact that we've got Flamini (who hopefully won't get hurt playing for France) doesn't exactly leave a huge gaping hole in the center of midfield the way Rino's injury would've done last year.

Same here, I feel there wont be that big of a hole to fill by either Ambro or Flamini, but Milan would be lacking heart in the middle of the pitch, the tenaciousness

I'm also hesitant to say let Ambro go play against Georgia... I really like Lippi, but I think Donadoni hired some witchdoctor or something to put a curse on Italy lol...

There are reports claiming Gattuso is out of the Milan-inter derby..

It's possible he won't play in the Derby, yes. The Derby is Sept 28 and if it takes a month for him to heal then yeah. He will probably be out.

Sour grapes don't you know?

But anyways seriously... who knows about Gattuso... he's a very fast healer, and he could be back by the time of the Milan-Merda derby... besides that we're pretty well covered in that position... with Flamini... I'm glad we kept Gattuso instead of selling him... he could be important for Flamini's further development as a player.

Very true...I think he'll heal faster than expected..That's how Gattuso always is...

Imagine if all our players healed as fast as he does...

I've seen the 'he heals fast' thing repeated several times. It's true, but broken bones are a little different from soft tissue injuries. Therefore, I'm far from certain that Gattuso will be back in time for the derby - and I think it'd be unwise to rush his return, given that we've got cover for the position.

Yeah that's true. We have enough to cover in that position, in particular Flamini...

Exactly what I've been thinking while seeing all the fast healer comments.

Broken bones, especially like the ones Rino broke in his hands have nothing to do with the player's ability to make a quick recovery, this isn't some muscular injury that he can recover through by working hard in physio therapy.

Not something I needed to read during lunch. Apparently Rino ALSO dislocated the fingers of his left hand when he fell. Ow. So...dislocated wrist, dislocated fingers, broken hand. Owie. The fact that he's as cheerful as he has been ('It could've been worse' was his quote) is pretty remarkable. That must've really hurt.

He has the qualities of a fighter... nothing will get him down about anything. I like his attitude...

Rino today.

I wonder what kind of fall it was (any videos btw?)... he's broken his everywhere!

Here's a video, courtesy of Mediaset. Not the best quality but it shows what happened.

Look at him, taking it like a man, that's our Rino. If that were C.Ronaldo I would bet 10 bucks that he would have cried his @ss off

Lippi's ball 'bounce' was the highlight though

grazie!

LOL @ Lippi's reaction.

Forza Rino the man!

He'd look at his arm, and even though it's completely dislocated... he'd be like "oh no biggie... just get me to the hospital to get this fixed up". That's Rino for you... yeah if that happened to Cristiano he'd be crying... oh man... I couldn't imagine how that drama queen would be.

Man, Lippi was pissed...

Thanks for the highlights Tennie ... Damn, Ringo, I wouldn't have imagined it like that, he is lucky to get away with just a sprained wrist, it could have been much worse.

Well it's not just sprained, it's broken and dislocated in several places.

Got it, nevertheless, it could have been far worse, I mean, Imagine if his head hit the concrete first ? Or if his knees landed first (and considering his weight), I'd say the damage would have been far worse.

Looking at it that way, it does seem like he got out of it lucky.

Why is the dug out like that? It's unsafe. Gattuso was running backwards probably to get back into position or recieve the ball and he fell in, that could happen to anybody. Those dugouts should be level with the playing surface

I think the pitch was that of a training ground surface, and considering Milanello doesn't have those dug outs, I guess he grew a bit more confident in backing into things

But yeah, your right, those dugouts are very dangerous, but Gattuso he is just too reckless at the same time

Cheers Tennie poor Rino get well soon man !!! i want to see you when i go to the San Siro !!!

Yeah get well soon

Yep it was a training ground, those dugouts should be filled up and made level with the playing surface.

I mean honestly, sometimes he ought to just keep quiet.

He'll get whats coming to him when we crush them on Sunday.

It's not about winning or losing. This is what Carletto mean when calling him a provocateur. This statement is just meant to draw us out into a battle of words.

I hope we're classy enough to ignore his statements.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the 'mocking' in what he said. I really don't see how what he said is at all mean towards the club.

NO

I read it on, I think, C4 the other day but was left wondering what was the part in which Mourinho mocks Gattuso

“I like telling it like it is and giving out the correct predicted recovery times for players. Others prefer to suggest far longer lay-offs so it’s all wonderful and marvellous when someone manages to return ‘ahead’ of schedule.

He's probably referring to Gattuso and his "miracle" recoveries. Original estimates said he'd miss the derby but he's back.

I think he's saying clubs over-estimate injuries, so when players come back the fans are like "Wow, this is great news". If they gave a true estimate, and they came back a week later, the fans would probably complain.

As much as I loathe the man I cannot see how what he said is linked with Milan in particular.

His arrogance is still annoying: "I do thing the right way. The others are wrong."

My point exactly...

Ringhio saying like it is.

Forza Gattuso!

Forza Borriello!

That was not needed...

I second that. What if Gattuso went to Bayern and flopped there? People would then say he had 'too much' personality? Oh wait, Steven Gerrard already said that. Anyway, maybe Rino is telling the truth, maybe he should just have kept quiet, or maybe Gila will come out as the leading goal scorer in Serie A this season and win the CL to boot?

Go away Rino, as far away from Milan as you can get.
