Maldini injury blow for Milan
MILAN have been rocked by the news that iconic captain Paolo Maldini will miss the start of the season, after picking up a serious ankle injury.
Maldini, a legend to the Milan fans, picked up the injury on the final day of training ahead of the 'Luigi Berlusconi' friendly tournament.
It seems certain that the cultured defender will miss the European Supercup against FC Porto, as well as the beginning of Milan's Serie A season.
Maldini will undergo a barrage of tests this week to ascertain the seriousness of the injury, with the club nervously awaiting the results.
The fear is that the veteran has damaged ligaments, and this could see a lengthy spell of recuperation for Maldini.
