Quick update

Bogus rumor of the day: We all know that Sandro's got major back issues and therefore cannot play. But Nesta's name being left out of Milan's UEFA Cup squad list has sparked speculation that he will not be available for the rest of the season or worse, will retire. I'm not too familiar with the rules here, but isn't it true that changes can be

Oh dear. Not retirement. nope *sticks fingers in ears* I refuse to believe it right now.

God that is just the worst though I can think of.

[curry_chicken]

I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

He'll be back. I hope.

Yeah, you get to submit a new list later, I think after the group stages are over.

Is there any prognosis on when they expect the petulant one back?

the iceberg melteth.

Martha's sits a corner praying for his Bitchness's swift recovery. every. night.

(Never! I worry about you guys -- I can't even IMAGINE the drama, were he to retire midseason! *g*)

Didn't speculations go crazy after Ballack was missed out from the Chelsea list last season (or one before) when he was injured but it was said to be because he was not happy there/will sold? But then came back after Group Stages?

Surely same applies to UEFA Cup. Meh, newspapers.

[curry_chicken]

Definately. Though Sandro's injury record is a frighetning little thing that would make any player doubt his descision to continue playing at this age.

Any other player, but not Sandro we hope.

Going straight for the jugular, I see, rumour mill. Well, it won't work, I can tell you. I'm too strong for you. TOO STRONG!

Rumors are the Joker to our Batman. *doesn't really know how that applies*

*offers a hand*

Yeah a new list can be submitted after the first group stage (should you get through).

Carlo's line of thought apparently is that whilst Nesta is getting near to being fit, he doesn't want to risk the additional strain of mid-week fixtures for the time being.

[curry_chicken]

Thank you. I figured that's how it worked.

Forreal, they need him too much to risk him like that. If Senderos is fit enoigh, Carlo can start playing him instead of potentially draining the KK/Paolo partnership.
