Kaladze admits career fears
Friday 6 March, 2009

Milan defender Kakha Kaladze admits he hesitated before surgery amid fears it would end his career. “I hope to be back in four or five months.”

The Georgian international has been struggling with a recurring knee problem for several years now and finally took the plunge.

“I am very happy to have had the surgery, because lately it had become extremely difficult to play in these conditions,” he told Telelombardia.

“We didn’t know if after the operation I could continue my playing career or not, so it was very difficult to make this decision.

“I hope to be back in four or five months, better than ever.”

Kaladze turned 31 last week and has been playing for the Rossoneri since 2000-01, before then representing Dynamo Kiev and Dynamo Tbilisi.
