Diego Milito Out 4 Weeks With Thigh Injury

Milito suffered a thigh injury at the end of Inter's 5-3 win over Roma on Sunday and it was diagnosed on Monday as a "second degree strain to the biceps femoris of the thigh" according to club doctor Franco Combi.

The injury is likely to keep him on the sidelines for approximately a month, meaning he will probably miss the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on February 23.

 
Fernando Torres- I Lost Any Enthusiasm Playing For Liverpool

“Liverpool will always be very special to me,” Torres told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

“Because of its history, Liverpool is a bigger club, but it is going through a difficult time."

“Money was not important - I left to improve sporting-wise. I thought I would stay one more year and take it as a transition season."

“But a time comes when you lose enthusiasm, you see those in the Spanish national team are playing at a different level."

“Then when everything looked black, Chelsea came and showed a real interest in me.”

Torres continued: “Chelsea are like Manchester United - the strongest over the last 10 years."

“One [Liverpool or Chelsea] is not better than the other - I'm just happy to have had the fortune of playing for both of them."

“I have been pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in the Chelsea changing room."

“I thought it would be more distant but the atmosphere is very good. They laugh, they joke and it’s nice.”

Pepe Reina Will Not Rule Out Move To Manchester United

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has refused to rule out an exit as Manchester United look for a replacement for Edwin Van der Sar in the summer.

"Yes, well Van der Sar will hang up his gloves in the summer so of course they are looking," Reina told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

"I can't do anything. I can't say anything logically as I have a contract with Liverpool."

"Of course one likes to fight for titles and be in a team that does that."

"We always fought to be in the Champions League and try to win the title."

"But unfortunately it hasn't been the case in the last couple of years."

He added: "I won't lie, I want to play in the Champions League and challenge for titles."
