Shev out for 25 days
Milan’s Andriy Shevchenko is in a race against time to be fit for the World Cup after injuring his knee.
The Ukrainian international, who will be his country’s star player at their first major tournament, limped out of the Parma victory after just eight minutes on Sunday.
The striker underwent tests on the problem this morning which confirmed ligament damage even if they ruled out the need for surgery.
The Rossoneri expect the former European Footballer of the Year to be sidelined for 25 days, giving him just under two weeks to prove his fitness before Germany 2006 kicks off.
Shevchenko’s season with Milan is thus over and there are even some whispers on Monday claiming that he’s played his last game for the club.
Shev met owner Silvio Berlusconi last night where it has been alleged that they may have discussed his own future.
Despite constantly stating that he wanted to end his career with the Rossoneri, speculation is again linking him with a move to Chelsea.
Milan will reportedly cope with his departure by buying Arsenal’s Thierry Henry and also use some of the cash from Shev’s sale to sign Chelsea stopper William Gallas and Juve ‘keeper Gigi Buffon.
Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o, who impressed Milan stopper Alessandro Nesta during their recent Champions League battles, is another name linked with the San Siro club on Monday.
Milan will now start with an attacking duo of Pippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino against Roma next week.
The Rossoneri need to beat the Giallorossi and hope that Juventus lose to Reggina to win the Serie A title.

Damnit he better be ready for the World Cup
