Milan Striker Marco Borriello Out For Two Months - Report

Milan striker Marco Borriello's injury curse shows no sign of fading, as he could be ruled out for two months. His muscular problem, it seems, has returned to plague him.

The Italian underwent another examination with the club's doctor and the results show that the flexor muscle in his right leg is still some way from being healed, leading to speculation that he will be out of action until April at the earliest.


Milan have yet to give further news on the injury and it is believed that Carlo Ancelotti is not happy with losing another player. Reports suggest that Borriello is unlikely to be included in the UEFA Cup list, which could be detrimental to the Rossoneri's chances of success in Europe this season. Overall, there will be a shortage of strikers at San Siro.

Borriello has been plagued by injury all season. He ruled out of most of the club's pre-season schedule after needing an operation to his meniscus. He returned for the club to face Lecce, but he fell victim to another injury during that encounter.

This latest blow is likely to keep him out for longer than expected. The striker could be back in April, but it may be too little, too late for the Milan giants.

Meanwhile, Milan clash with Lazio on Sunday night in the Stadio Olimpico. Alexandre Pato is likely to start up front. There may also be a starting role for Ronaldinho, as David Beckham is doubtful.
