Milan Go For Sheva After Borriello Injury?

Borriello suffered a knee injury in training on Thursday, and having had an X-ray exam the player will now travel to Antwerp on Wednesday for a specialist visit with renowned medic, Professor Marc Martens.

It is not yet known what damage Borriello has done to his right knee, but the early signs are that he could be out of action for a considerable amount of time.

This has plunged Milan into something of a striker crisis. Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato are away on Olympic duty with Brazil, Kaka is recovering from a knee operation, while Pippo Inzaghi is also struggling with injury.

Alberto Paloschi’s proposed loan move to Torino has now been put on hold, and Milan know that they cannot go into the new season so short of strikers.

As a result, La Republicca claims that the Rossoneri could be set to reignite their interest in bringing Andriy Shevchenko back to the club.

The Ukrainian, who had seven brilliant seasons with Milan from 1999 to 2006, scoring 127 goals in just 208 games, moved to Chelsea in 2006 for a whopping €45m. However, he has had two dreadful years in the English capital, and is well known to be desperate to move back to Italy.

Milan have never hidden their desire of bringing Sheva back to San Siro, but until now have only been interested in acquiring him on loan.
