Milan Breathe Sigh Of Relief Over Andrea Pirlo Injury

Pirlo's injury is minor and will return to training in a few days.
Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo will miss a few days of action after picking up a hamstring injury, according to the club's official website.

The 31-year-old made a comeback from injury against Bari in the 3-0 Coppa Italia victory as a second-half substitute, but was forced to leave the field after less than 20 minutes.

An official statement from the Rossoneri read:

"The person responsible for health at AC Milan, Dr. Gianluca Melegati, announces that the player Andrea Pirlo underwent magnetic resonance imaging showing a contracture of the right hamstring. In a few days the player will rejoin the team."

The Italian international playmaker has made 14 appearances in Serie A this season. He has maintained a steady place in the Castrol Rankings since the beginning of the 2010-11 campaign, currently sitting at 265.
