Shevchenko To Miss A Month? 08/17/2002. Milan have been dealt a hefty blow with the news that Andriy Shevchenko may be set to miss a month through injury. http://www.soccerage.com/en/13/g5855.html Here's AC Milan's official statement: From www.ACMilan.com SHEVA'S INJURY: OFFICIAL STATEMENT MILAN - AC Milan communicates that during the game against Slovan Liberec, Andriy Shevchenko injured his exterior left meniscus. Next Monday, Sheva will be in Antwerp for a check-up with doctor Mark Martens.
Mystery surrounds Shevchenko Russian newspapers claim that Andriy Shevchenko is not injured and will play for the Ukraine this week. The doubts on the Milan man’s injury – feared to be a torn knee ligament that could keep him out for two months – were raised by television station NTV+Football.Channel 4 This sounds like a media creation to me.
I know there's nothing to be done about the CL matches, but I'd still like to have 3-5 serie A games without him as opposed to 6-8. What's most important at this point is that Sheva returns ONLY when he is at full strength. I am sick of Milan's nagging injury woes the past two seasons; one player with a repeat injury and maybe you can say they are the problem, but time and again we have seen a Milan player get hurt, only to come back and injury himself within the next few weeks. Maybe this Milan Lab will be the key to the scudetto
