| Season over for Maicon? |
Tuesday 31 March, 2009 |

Inter doctor Franco Combi has revealed that Douglas Maicon's injury is worse than expected and he may miss the rest of the season.
Inspirational right-back Maicon sustained a thigh injury while playing for Brazil against Ecuador in a World Cup 2010 qualifier.
He will now miss the crucial Derby d'Italia against Juventus and possibly the rest of the campaign.
“Brazil national doctor Jose Luis Runco has told me that Maicon has a big lesion in the top of his right leg,” Combi told Inter's website.
“I spoke to the Brazilian doctors last night and Runco has agreed to look after Maicon for around 10 days until he returns to Italy.
“When he returns to Milan, we will conduct new tests to ascertain the extent of the damage and try to re-educate the leg.”
Maicon was due to play for Brazil against Peru on Wednesday but will now watch the game from the stands.
