Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of the only non-English club among the four strongest European clubs, hopes that Andriy Shevchenko and Serginho will recover by the first UEFA Champions League semi-final match against Manchester United. However, the forecasts for goalkeeper Dida are more pessimistic.
All three players are recovering from injuries and are in poor form, but the coach, speaking before Saturday's Italian championship match against "Cagliari," was optimistic and hoped that they would all travel to Manchester for Tuesday's match.
"Inzaghi has problems with his foot, Serginho will not play against 'Cagliari' as a precaution, and Paolo Maldini is currently training on an individual regime," said the Italian. "I hope all three will recover and play against 'Man Utd'."
However, C. Ancelotti admitted that the team's main goalkeeper, Brazilian Dida, has lower chances of taking to the field on Tuesday after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday's match against 'Messina.'
"Dida will definitely not play against 'Cagliari' and most likely will start working with the ball instead. We do not yet know if he will be able to play in Manchester. It will be a last-minute decision," the strategist said.
