Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati will be out of action for five to six months following surgery on his cruciate knee ligament.

Abbiati injured his knee two weeks ago in Milan’s 5-1 victory at Siena, after which he was replaced by Brazilian Dida.

Milan said on their official website that the operation had been a success but confirmed that the keeper would not play again until next season.

Dida had not played in Serie A this season until Abbiati’s injury but had kept goal in all Milan’s UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia matches.
