Parma sweat over Gilardino

Parma are sweating over the fitness of star striker Alberto Gilardino.

The Italian international picked up an ankle injury in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atalanta.

Gilardino battled on through the pain of the injury to play the full 90 minutes of the clash at the Ennio Tardini.

Parma are set to send Gilardino for further tests on the injury to find out the full extent of the problem.

Gilardino now faces a race against time to be fit for Thursday's Uefa Cup clash with Steaua Bucharest.
