Inzaghi to have surgery, likely out for season
Posted Friday, November 12, 2010 by YAHOO Sport
MILAN (AP)—Filippo Inzaghi’s season is likely over, with the AC Milan striker requiring surgery to repair ligament damage in his left knee.
The 37-year-old forward was injured after coming on in the second half of Milan’s 3-1 win over Palermo on Wednesday.
An operation is expected to be scheduled over the next two days and Inzaghi was quick to send out a message to his fans that this doesn’t necessarily mark the end of his career.
“I don’t give up,” he said. “I’m going to do everything I can—believe me—to avoid this being the end.”
The injury, which occurred in a challenge with Palermo defender Cesare Bovo, came exactly a week after what Inzaghi called the best night of his career, having come off the bench to score two goals in the 2-2 draw with Real Madrid.
Inzaghi has scored two goals in Serie A this season and three in the Champions League to become the all-time leading scorer in Europe with 70 career goals. In 289 matches overall with Milan, he has scored 125 goals, one more than former Milan star Marco van Basten.
