Week 8 Milan - Empoli 21/10/07

I'm afraid a negative piece of news brings this thread to a start... Channel 4 reports Ronaldo may not even sit on the bench. Galliani admitted this during a round of golf in Como...

Looks like it’s just Pippo and Gila up front. Pippo's well rested while Gila's playing Wednesday against South Africa. I think his recall into the Azzurri will be a positive mental factor. Couple that with his brace at Lazio and he should be ready to start. We must get all three points here to stay in contention in the Scudetto race.
