Italian "Serie A" champion Milan and Uruguayan national team forward Alvaro Recoba underwent tests that confirmed the player will be unable to play for three weeks due to muscle problems.
The 30-year-old player suffered the injury just before the winter break, playing only nine minutes in a 2-1 victory against Atalanta, where he was replaced by Brazilian Adriano, who scored the equalizing goal.
The tests conducted on Wednesday showed the seriousness of the Uruguayan's injury - it is believed that the injuries are not very serious, but due to similar problems, the Uruguayan's career has been suspended several times before - due to muscle pain, the player joined the team just a few weeks ago this season.
However, there is some good news for Milan fans. "Inter" issued a statement on their official website denying rumors of the possible departure of Luis Figo: "There are no negotiations for Luis Figo to move to another club. Therefore, recent rumors about a possible transfer of the Portuguese defender are completely unfounded."
During the Christmas break, the Arab club "Al-Ittihad" announced that they had agreed to sign a contract with the legendary Portuguese player and the deal would be completed soon. It was reported in the media that L. Figo would be paid more than 6 million euros for six months in Saudi Arabia, but "Inter" owner Massimo Moratti urged the player to stay.
The Italian "Serie A" championship will return on January 13 after the winter break, with the "Inter" team facing the opposition of the "Torino" team away.
Currently, in the Italian league, the "Inter" team leads with 48 points, seven points ahead of the closest pursuer, "Roma."
