Rome:
AC Milan's injury-plagued Italian midfielder Andrea Pirlo will be ruled out for another six weeks after suffering a knee strain in training on Friday.
"Pirlo has a strained right knee and a stretched knee ligament. The recovery time will be around six weeks," said Milan club doctor Gianluca Melegati.
Pirlo, 31, has already been out for two months with a hamstring problem but coach Massimiliano Allegri had hoped to recall him for the game against Parma on Saturday.
