The hit-man, who scored 19 goals last season in Serie A, went
down awkwardly in training on Saurday afternoon and the club have
now confirmed their worst fears.
“Borriello has suffered a distortion in his right knee,” reads a
report from the Milan medical team on the club’s official website.
The Italian intenational is now set to undergo further tests at
Milan lab on Sunday to verify the extent of the damage but initial
reports seem to suggest he will be out for at least 60 days.
This latest set-back is likely to leave Carlo Ancelotti with severe
head aches up front as Alexandre Pato is on international duty and
Filippo Inzaghi is also injured.
Therefore, in theory, Milan have no-one up
front as teenager, Alberto Paloschi, is in the
middle of negotiating a move to Torino but it seems like he will be
prevented from joining the Granata.
It’s not what Milan wanted at such a crucial stage of
pre-season.
