QUOTE
Milan’s Paolo Maldini has picked up an injury in training, which may end the veteran stopper’s season and bring the curtain down on his career.
The Rossoneri need all the experience they can get with just five games left to turn their season around.
However, it seems that 39-year-old stopper Maldini could be watching the remainder of the campaign from the stands.
The Diavolo legend damaged his left thigh during yesterday’s training session and early tests show that the damage could be reasonably extensive.
There are fears that the problem could be enough to rule Maldini out of any of Milan’s remaining matches.
Should Maldini stand by his previous decision to hang up his boots at the end of the season, he may have played his final game in a glorious career.
A homegrown talent, Maldini came through the Milan youth ranks and made his Serie A debut at just 16 back in January 1985.
He has since made 617 appearances for the club and has played more games in the top flight than any other active player.
