No Romania call for Mutu
Monday 9 February, 2009

Fiorentina marksman Adrian Mutu won't play for Romania against Croatia, the Viola have confirmed.

Mutu has been suffering with a recurring elbow injury since he dislocated it in pre-season.

The former Parma man sustained the initial knock while on international duty with Romania.

Although Mutu is back in action and played a full 90 minutes against Lazio yesterday, he won't be risked in Romania's upcoming friendly.

A statement on the Tuscan side's website stresses that Mutu hasn't been called up by Coach Victor Piturca for precautionary reasons.

The 30-year-old has made 65 appearances for his county to date and found the net 29 times on the international stage.
