"Milan" at the camp - bad news. Two club defenders, Alessandro Nesta and Serginho, suffered serious injuries and probably won't be able to help the team for several months. Both players were unable to assist the team in the 15th round match against "Cagliari," which ended in a 2-2 draw. Alessandro Nesta had been experiencing problems with his left shoulder tendon for some time and on Monday the defender underwent shoulder surgery. It is believed that the former "Lazio" captain may be out of action for about 3 months. However, the club is not yet willing to predict his return date. The official statement from "Milan" says that the player's return date will be clarified in the next few days. Meanwhile, the situation for veteran defender Serginho is even worse. The player will undergo hernia surgery. This means that the Brazilian's season is probably over, and since his contract with the club expires next summer, this may mean that the player will no longer play in "Milan" colors. "Milan" vice-president Adriano Galliani admitted that the club's defensive line has serious problems and the club will be looking for a new defender in January, not a new striker as previously thought. "It is not true that the club is looking to strengthen the attacking line. Currently, we are considering whether we need a new defender to fill the gap left by the injuries to A. Nesta and Serginho. Their absence could force us to buy a defender," said A. Galliani."
