Inter chief of medical staff Franco Combi this morning reported to the club and José Mourinho on the condition of Maicon, who sustained an injury during the first half of Brazil's 2010 World Cup qualifier against Ecuador in Quito on Sunday 29 March.
Combi told inter.it: "I spoke with the Brazil chief of medical staff during the night. He had just finished the medical tests. Unfortunately, he confirmed that Maicon has a serious injury of the rectus femoris in his right leg. I have collaborated with José Luis Runco for many years. We agreed that he will follow the player directly until his return to Italy in about ten days' time. When he returns to Milan we will do further tests on Maicon to see how the injury is, and then proceed with a rehabilitation programme."
