INZAGHI OPERATION GOES WELL, MAXIMUM FOUR MONTH LAYOFF CONFIRMED

Fillippo Inzaghi successfully underwent the operation to his ailing left knee in Rome on Wednesday afternoon, but the diagnosis of his physician confirms the former Juve now AC Milan striker will be forced to miss at least three months of action.

“If last minute complications don’t arise, Inzaghi will face a layoff ranging from three to four months,” said professor Campi.

The Milan hit-man injured, but didn’t tear, the ligaments in his left knee after he clashed with Chievo keeper Lupatelli during last Sunday’s clash won by the Rossoneri 3-2.
