ALESSANDRO NESTA will undergo a surgery in his right-knee after a torn tendon has revealed there, meaning his season is over, as confirmed by AC Milan official website.
A big blow for the Rossoneri. The Italian defender has visited a doctor in Rome on Friday, where he had discovered a torn tendon in his right-knee. Milan gave 48 hours to examine the man’s situation and he will need a surgery.
A surgery is meaningful. Nesta will take around two months to recover, and that would see him out for the rest of the season. AC Milan have confirmed via its official site that Alessandro will take a surgery on Monday.

Nesta Back In 45 Days, Says Volpi
“A.C Milan communicates the medical situation: Alessandro Nesta will undergo surgery on Monday, March 15th. The operation will be carried out by professor [Pier Paolo] Mariani,” it reads.
Aside Milan’s injury woe, this injury also ruins the chances of Italy Coach Marcello Lippi to take ‘Sandro’ to World Cup this season. However, the defender has already rejected the offer more than once.
This piece of injury made Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi really mad, because the doctors of Milan have admitted that this injury could had avoided, as the tore happened in two matches.
There is a defensive crisis in Milan, as Nesta, Daniele Bonera, Oguchi Onyewu and Luca Antonini are all out injured at this moment. Also in attack, Alexandre Pato and Amantino Mancini are out.
Milan’s squad to face Chievo: Abbiati, Dida, Abate, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Oddo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Adiyiah, Borriello, Huntelaar, Inzaghi, Ronaldinho.

SHIT! Nesta is so important. I thought he’d at least come to the last matches.
Finally Adiyiah is in the squad…Forza Milan!
I hope to see him back in the final matches. THAT IS REALLY TOO BAD. Great player. Great defender. That is just harsh – knowing it could had been avoided….SHIT!
Milan must try their best also without him. Forza Nesta! Quick recovery!!
I hope we’ll do well also without Nesta. He’s great and super-important, but Bonera/Favalli/Kaladze will try to do the best they can to replace him. When does Onyewu return? He’s injured for over than three months now right?
GOD DAMMIT!
without nesta, bonera, antonini, onyewu, pato and mancini, this is my line-up to face chievo: abbiati; zambro, favalli, silva, janku; gattuso, pirlo, ambro; beckham, inzaghi, ronaldinho.
