Alessandro Nesta has been told he may need surgery to fix a broken tendon in his knee, meaning his season with Milan could be over.
Nesta discussed the possibility with knee specialist professor Pier Paolo Mariani after an examination on Friday morning revealed the extent of the damage.
A broken plopeteal tendon in his right knee is the cause of his woe, and, although surgery is possible, Nesta will try to cure it without the need to go under the knife.
But, this has not been confirmed yet. The Italian stopper is set to have further consultations with Mariani and the Milan medical staff before he decides on what course of action to take.
His season will, in all effects, be over if he does indeed opt for an operation.
The bad news doesn't end there though. Nesta reportedly said he was not thinking about a return to the Italian national team for the World Cup when asked by reporters outside the clinic.
"Is my season over? I don't know. If I need surgery then I may just return before the end of the season," he told journalists, as reported by La Repubblica.
"We have to see what happens. I would prefer to avoid surgery, but then if I have no choice...
"I just hope I can return to playing before the end of season."
