Maicon ruled out. Santon or Zanetti will start on the right

Here's Milan's projected lineup from Gazzetta:
Abbiati
Zambrotta Kaladze Maldini Jankulovski
Beckham Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf Ronaldinho
Pato
(Bench: Dida Antonini Senderos Nesta Flamini Shevchenko Inzaghi )

Here's that of the cugini:
Julio Cesar
Maicon Materazzi Samuel Santon
Zanetti Cambiasso Muntari Stankovic
Ibrahimovic Adriano
(Bench: Toldo Cordoba Chivu Vieira Mancini Figo Cruz )

Here are the projected lineups from Mediaset:
Inter (4-3-1-2): Julio Cesar; Maicon, Cordoba, Samuel, Santon; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari; Stankovic; Ibrahimovic, Adriano. A disposizione: Toldo, Materazzi, Chivu, Vieira, Mancini, Figo, Crespo.

Milan (4-3-2-1): Abbiati; Zambrotta, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf, Ronaldinho; Pato. A disposizione: Dida, Antonini, Senderos, Flamini, Cardacio, Shevchenko, Inzaghi.

I would rather have someone like Becks who is prepared to work rather than R80 who just likes to look good.

If Milan depend on wether Maicon plays or not...it's sad. One story is Zlatan..but Maicon? C'mmon,..

“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.”

So... Maicon has miraculously recovered...



here

... douche!

It's just one of his little mind games...

I hope he already has!

Injured players reports:

Marco Borriello has been operated today.The time of recovery will be assessed after the audit visit scheduled for between 20/30 days.

Alessandro Nesta has been subjected to the medical examination. In the coming days it will be further consultations.

Sheva is conducting different training as a result of inflammation of a scar of the left quadriceps. Next Monday he will be subjected to investigations.

Rino Gattuso continues rehabilitation on schedule with excellent results. He Will be subject to audit visit in March.

Felipe Mattioni is at rest for an injury to the right knee. He will Resume preparation in the next week.

Zeljko Kalac has been subjected to treatment with infiltration to the cervical spine. He Will stay at rest for the whole week.

Kakà works every day at Milanello to meet the team on time. The pain is being considerably reduced.

I believe Flamini should play on the left to help Jankulovski cope with Maicon and Figo/Ibrahimovic. Janku is surely not the best defender around and I fear they will attack mainly from the right wing.

Excellent point. hopefully Carlo will understand that...

i think somehting is wrong with milan medical facility

What does being full of condition mean?

Sacchi: Inter's mind on Manchester

Former Italy Coach Arrigo Sacchi believes Milan will win the derby because Inter are already focusing on Manchester United.

The first leg of the Champions League clash is not until February 24, but a seven-point lead at the top of Serie A could make them complacent.

“The Nerazzurri could be – albeit unconsciously – affected by the imminent match against the European and World champions,” Sacchi told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Inter are in great shape, but Jose Mourinho could ‘feel’ the upcoming meeting with Manchester United more than this derby, as eliminating them would give the club enormous international prestige.”

However, there are other reasons behind Sacchi’s concerns about tonight’s Derby della Madonnina.

“Milan are missing Kaka, who is a big loss, but Inter are too dependent on the extraordinary Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“It should also be noted that the Rossoneri rarely get it wrong in the big games.”

In Kaladze's case, learning disability and amnesia. He used to be butcher on a street corner in Georgia with a knack for ice dancing. The rest of the story writes itself...

Thanks. Now where's the English translation?

I'm hoping that RAI will show some of the curva before the game -- the Fossa may be gone but this one deserves a good coreo.

Long story, ry. Basically, there was a big fight over stolen banners after a Juve game. Some part of the Fosse leadership went to the police to get their stuff back - this is a big nono for ultras and there was a lot of infighting in the group. Eventually they formally disbanded. A lot of the Fosse folks are in other successor groups like Brigate Rossonere, though.
