Alessandro Nesta's injury is a rare occurence in football, according to professor Stefano Lovati, a medical expert, and consultant at Lazio.
On Friday the Milan defender learned he may need surgery to mend a popleteal tendon in his right knee, and it could end his season.
"In effects this injury is rather rare in footballers, and in sports personnel in general," Lovati told Il Corriere Dello Sport.
"I think surgery would be more complex compared to an operation on a meniscus because of the zone where surgery would be carried out.
"Also, the recovery would require plenty of physiotherapy.
"I would exclude that the recovery time would be less than six weeks."
