MILAN - AC Milan centre-back Alessandro
Nesta could play again this season after surgery on a knee
injury on Monday showed his problem was not as serious as the
Serie A title challengers had feared.
The 33-year-old thought his season could be over but Milan
said in a statement that he should be able to "return to
athletic activity in 30 days".
Second-placed Milan moved one point behind leaders Inter
Milan following Sunday's 1-0 win over Chievo, where England's
David Beckham tore his Achilles tendon and was all but ruled out
of June's World Cup.
The news is better for Nesta given the Italian season ends
on May 16 but any recall to the Italy squad for the World Cup in
South Africa looks unlikely after the defender recently turned
down the chance to come out of international retirement.
