AC Milan M Pirlo could miss two months

Sep 19, 2008 - 4:38 PM MILAN, Italy (Ticker) -- AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo could miss up to two months with a right thigh injury.

Pirlo, 29, suffered the injury during Tuesday's training session and missed the Rossoneri??s mid-week UEFA Cup clash against FC Zurich.

"Andrea Pirlo underwent tests today in Milan and the results have shown a complex muscular injury in his right thigh," a statement from the club read. "The recovery period has been set at 45 to 60 days."

The injury almost certainly rules him out of Italy's World Cup qualifiers against Bulgaria and Montenegro next month.
