Stank suffers twisted knee
Thursday 8 January, 2009

Inter may have received an important injury blow as Dejan Stankovic limped out of training.

Jose Mourinho's side have a six-point advantage at the top of Serie A and seem to be on course to retain the title.

But they may have lost a key man ahead of their first fixture of 2009 after Stankovic picked up a knee injury in training this afternoon.

Heavy snow made it impossible to train outdoors today and so the Nerazzurri players worked indoors.

During a sprinting exercise, Stankovic landed awkwardly and twisted his knee.

“Stankovic has undergone tests with club doctor Franco Combi after injuring his knee in training,” the club confirmed.

“We will evaluate the player's condition over the next few hours and we cannot rule out a programme of rehabilitation.”

Stankovic will miss the weekend's encounter with Cagliari and could be sidelined for a significant period.
