AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo will miss Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg at home to Tottenham Hotspur and the next six weeks after injuring his knee ligaments.
The Italy international had tests after being hurt in training yesterday and the Serie A leaders said on their website (www.acmilan.com) that "the recovery time is estimated at six weeks".
Pirlo, whose contract expires at the end of the season and who has yet to be offered new terms by the Italian club after failing to shine for several months, had only just returned to training after a month out with a thigh problem.
An injury crisis in midfield prompted Milan to sign Dutchmen Mark Van Bommel and Urby Emanuelson in January and although both are ineligible for the Champions League, they could now be key to the club's faltering attempt for a first scudetto since 2004.
There was better news for Milan, who have drawn their last two league games, when fit-again centre backs Alessandro Nesta and Nicola Legrottaglie were included in the squad for today's match at home to Parma (1700 GMT).
