| Nesta risks operation |

Milan defender Alessandro Nesta could need surgery to resolve a persistent back problem that has ruled him out of the season so far.
The 32-year-old has made just one appearance for the Rossoneri since June 16 and that was in a friendly against FK Tirana.
A slipped disc, which protrudes out and into the nerves around his spine, has caused Nesta’s back to repeatedly flare up.
The former Lazio youngster has flown to Miami on a number of occasions in the last year to seek specialist treatment, but nothing appears to be working.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani will meet with Coach Carlo Ancelotti at the Rossoneri’s summer training camp in Dubai on January 7 to discuss the matter and its implications for the transfer window.
The seven-time European Cup winners have the worst defensive record in the top six and have already made moves to strengthen their backline.
Thiago Silva will join the club from Fluminense in the summer and Arsenal’s William Gallas is reportedly being targeted in the January sales.
