Milan says Cassano needs heart surgery

ITALY and AC Milan forward Antonio Cassano will be out for a "few months" and needs heart surgery after falling ill at the weekend, the Italian champion said in a statement yesterday.

"The player will undergo a small surgical cardiological intervention in the coming days and the recovery time will be better defined after the surgery, but it will probably be a few months," the statement said. The problem caused insufficient blood flow to the brain but no lasting brain damage has been detected. The former Real Madrid striker fell ill after returning by air from Rome after Saturday's 3-2 win over AS Roma. The statement said he is already feeling much better after reports he initially had difficulty talking and moving.
