CHIVU INJURY UPDATE

APPIANO GENTILE - Cristian Chivu, who came off injured in the second half of last night's 3-2 win against Reggina, underwent medical tests this morning at the San Matteo hospital in Pavia. The tests were performed by Professor Franco Benazzo under the supervision of Inter's chief doctor Franco Combi.

The Romanian defender has injured the internal collateral ligament in his left knee. He will undergo conservative therapy instead of surgery, and will begin a rehabilitation programme in the coming days.
