Nesta shoulder injury serious?

There are fears Alessandro Nesta could be out for a month after dislocating his shoulder.

The Milan defender fell awkwardly on to his left shoulder and arm during the first half of tonight’s 2-0 win over Cesena.

He was taken to hospital for x-rays and the initial reports are of a dislocation, but not the feared fracture or ligament damage.

It would be a particularly heavy blow for the veteran, as he suffered an identical injury to this shoulder in 2007 and was forced to stay on the sidelines for three months.

The shoulder has been put back in place under anaesthetic, so no surgery appears to be required, but it is still an injury that should keep Nesta out for at least three weeks.

This was not a fortunate evening for the Rossoneri, who also lost Gennaro Gattuso in the warm-up due to a muscular problem.

With Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf, Mathieu Flamini, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Gianluca Zambrotta already sidelined, it forced Thiago Silva to fill the gap in midfield.

Get well soon babe! :cry:

too bad for him..lacking such experience in defense in important matches is a huge blow

Sage · Jan 23, 2011

2-3 weeks? thats fine I guess.

Simply an unfortunate injury and as long as it isn't his legs or back, it's not one to be concerned about in the long-term. It's highly unlikely that he'll suffer a similar injury on the pitch again; hopefully he'll be ready for Spurs. Yepes has been quality every time he was called upon, he should do a decent job in his place.

DugiNesta · Jan 24, 2011

I hope he'll be back as soon as possible.

Sokratis + Yepes were great today, I hope they'll be like this everytime their help is needed.

Forza Sandro :star:

MilanMB · Jan 24, 2011

I'll choose to see something positive in this.

Ok he's gone circa 3 weeks, that gives him some good resting time to be fully fit for the most important part of the season. And it gives us the opportunity to play Yepes and Sokratis so they don't lack match fitness when they're called upon later.

Now I can sleep.

According to preliminary information from Gale, the AC Milan defender has reported an anterior dislocation (already reduced) and, tomorrow, there will be a magnetic Risognanze to assess in detail the extent of damage. The player, after being released from the hospital, he returned to San Siro where, among other things, has enjoyed a shower in the locker room.

Revolution · Jan 24, 2011

Hopefully he gets better quickly and Yepes proved himself capable of commanding the defense, hopefully Allegri continues to start him.

I actually like playing Silva in the midfield with Yepes and Papa behind him, it's basically playing with 3 CBs, but Silva going forward and actually being able to pass with a long ball was very useful today.

I hope its just 2-3 weeks and hopefully even sooner.

We need you back ASAP Sandro!

Dinar · Jan 24, 2011

From our website

Nesta has made today an MRI that ruled out rotator cuff injury. After a consultation with prof. Taverna has been decided in agreement with the player to make a functional recovery aggressively to allow the return to the field in a period of 3 / 4 weeks. A possible surgical stabilization will be made, if necessary, at the end of the season.

Match against Spurs is on 15th i.e. 23 days from now.

Mrk · Jan 24, 2011

As long as he's fit for the return leg we'll be fine, i don't think they'll cause us as many problems at the San Siro.

end-er · Jan 24, 2011

Get well very very soon, Sandro!

Mr. Milanista · Jan 24, 2011

2-3 weeks? Will he be back against Tottenham?

ikita · Jan 24, 2011

get well soon nesta. we need you alot. when you're playing we're just solid as a rock.

Susan · Jan 24, 2011

So it's 3-4 weeks now, I hope he makes a fast recovery, I would love to have him back for the CL match against Tottenham which is in a bit less than a month. Honestly I doubt he will make it for that match, but I hope he will be back as soon as possible, wish Sandro all the best, we need him, I'll miss him the time he won't be able to play

Hopefully his replacements will do a good job, so that we don't have to regret his injury too much.

If Yepes plays like he did last yesterday we will be fine

HeroMaldini · Jan 24, 2011

what did i say about a week ago, WHAT did i SAY!!! i feckin knew it, every single time in recent seasons we have a big game coming up in europe or a derby, we're left sweating on a big game player like Nesta or T Silva, players we cannot do without.. and now its happened..f**kin typical

though im still positive doh cos it say hes out for 3/4 weeks and its 3 weeks and 3 days til spurs game so he shud be back just in time!

BrasilianMilan · Jan 24, 2011

Damn!

get well soon Sandro, it's too bad you won't be available to play against Tottenham

Az. · Jan 24, 2011

Speedy recovery Nesta !

GreatKalu · Jan 25, 2011

After fearing the worst, a month out doesn't seem so harsh. At least there's a good chance he'll be back for both Napoli and Juve, but we would have been much better off with him gaining form and fitness + being available against Spurs and Lazio.

Sucks because now was the period when we should be recovering players + hitting top form.

Get well soon.

Mr. Milanista · Jan 25, 2011

Would he be back against Tottenham?

Maybe for the second leg? He has to recover and then he has to get match fit again. Running for even 45 minutes isn't an easy feat.

Alessandro Nesta Back In Training For Milan

Milan defender Alessandro Nesta is back in training after dislocating his shoulder in the 2-0 win over Cesena on January 23.

The 34-year-old went through the entire training session with no complications as the Rossoneri prepare for their Serie A match against Parma on Saturday.

Barring any setbacks Nesta will feature in the first-leg of the Round of 16 clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League next week.

Nesta has made 23 appearances for the club in all competitions this season and is rated at 119 by the Castrol Rankings, the highest ranked defender in Serie A.

KujaIX · Feb 8, 2011

He's been out for like 2 weeks, people were really over-stating the problem.
