Chievo will miss Makinwa
Wednesday 18 March, 2009

Relegation-threatened Chievo have been dealt a potentially damaging injury blow as striker Stephen Makinwa will be out for a considerable period.

The Flying Donkeys are battling to try and avoid an immediate return to the Second Division.

Last weekend's heroic 3-0 win over Lazio helped Chievo move above Bologna into 16th place, but they still have a lot to do.

Coach Domenico Di Carlo hasn't been helped by the news that Nigerian marksman Makinwa has a quadriceps problem and will be out of action for around a month.

To make matters worse, it has also been confirmed that talented midfielder Simone Bentivoglio will be sidelined for two weeks after damaging an adductor muscle.

A depleted Chievo side will host Palermo at the Stadio Bentegodi this weekend.

The road is long, says Di Carlo
Chievo Coach Mimmo Di Carlo insists his side still have work to do if they are to survive their first season back in Serie A. More
