Milan: Inter Milan fullback Maicon could be out for up to a month after being diagnosed with a muscle strain in his left thigh.
Maicon was injured during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Juventus and the news is a big blow for Inter since the Brazilian has been one of the squad's best performers lately.
Maicon scored a temporary equalizer against Juve and played a full 90 minutes.
A statement released by the club read: "This morning [Sunday] at the orthopaedic clinic of the IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation in Pavia, professor Franco Combi, Inter's chief of medical staff, submitted Maicon to medical tests to investigate the muscular pain felt by the player. The results showed a second-degree strain to the biceps femoris muscle of the left thigh."
"After the exams in Pavia were completed, the player went to the Angelo Moratti training centre for his first session of therapy and physiotherapy."
With only two wins in their opening nine matches, Inter are hovering only two points above the relegation zone in Serie A.
The defender will definitely miss his side's Champions League Group B match, when Inter host Lille on Wednesday.
