IN ANTWERP WITH RINO
Rino is used to the trenches. And so when opponents attack, that's the way it has to be to digest a hard reality. Tomorrow in Antwerp he plays for us, Sunday night in Turin we will play for him.
16 appearences and 2000 minutes played. We don't know if they really will be the last ones of the season, but they certainly were, one by one, minutes worthy of Milan, worthy of Gattuso. The Rino of this season, originated on Monday 19 May 2008 after the meeting with Adriano Galliani in the Via Turati offices, was a Milanista. A flag, a player with heart. Tomorrow is our real big away game of the season. Trophies, victories, standings, advantages, disadvantages: let's wait for a moment.
First comes Gattuso.
Rino played as Gattuso against Catania: tenacious, real, totalising. Never just generous, always evidently decisive: one contrast after another, the unfortunate yellow card which came after the umpteenth covering intervention. At the end of the match the usual slight pain to his knee, but the appointment with the truth is only postponed to a Tuesday at Milanello which started calmly and finished terribly.
They come almost at the same time: the news of the suspension and the mean, pitiless news of the lesion to his knee ligament. If professor Martens will start with the operation in Antwerp, for Rino the 2008/2009 season could be a book nearing its end already.
Unless there is a miracle in the 90th minute, it will be the longest absence from the pitch for a strong player like him, both since his arrival at Milan and since the start of his career.
Rino, Rino... on his shirt the red looks more red and the black looks more black. He recovers, presses, relaunches, and the Milanista feels represented, even taken by the hand. Also on Sunday afternoon, in the cold of San Siro, Rino was like the stove of many small anxieties in an important match.
It's a European away game, then, for the Rossonero heart. Rino and professor Martens. It won't be easy to tell him for the Belgian doctor, but if it has to be done that it has to be said and it has to be done. Gattuso does not know fear. Rino is used to being in the trenches.
Tomorrow in Antwerp he plays for us, Sunday night in Turin we will play for him.

QUOTE
MILAN, Italy (AP) - AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has a torn ACL in his right knee Tuesday and could miss the rest of the season
The injury occurred during Milan's 1-0 win over Catania on Sunday. Gattuso played the entire match, as the extent of the problem only became evident afterward.
Gattuso underwent an MRI on Tuesday that showed the torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Milan said that team physician Jean Pierre Meersseman would accompany Gattuso to Antwerp, Belgium, on Wednesday for further tests with specialist Marc Martens.
Gattuso could miss up to six months, which would also rule him out of Italy's World Cup qualifiers with Montenegro on March 28 and Ireland on April 1.
Milan did not specify how long he would be out.

This is really sucks, he was one of our best players this season! 
Its a real shame too bcuz he made a great showing in almost all games this season, after a lackluster one in the previous. Sure do hope he gets back on the pitch ASAP.
[a little Gattuso healing magic and fighting spirit goes a long way]
And to imagine how saddened I was when he couldn't play against Juventus this Sunday
(due to an unjust yellow card)
...Now this!
GET WELL Soon Rino!
