ROME, Nov 27 - AC Milan full back Massimo Oddo is
expected to miss up to two months after injuring his left thigh
in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Olympique Marseille in the
Champions League.
"The player will be subjected to further checks next week,
but the initial prognosis with a view to a return to playing is
of between 40 and 60 days," read a statement on the Serie A
club's website (www.acmilan.com).
The former Italy international was expected to be a fringe
member of Milan's squad when he returned from a loan stint at
Bayern Munich in the close season but has instead been a regular
starter.
