Nedved apologises to Figo
Inter’s Luis Figo is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but Pavel Nedved has apologised for the challenge that caused his injury.
The Portuguese star limped off with a serious calf injury and is awaiting an operation tomorrow.
Nerazzurri President Massimo Moratti was angry at the Czech winger’s tackle.
“He didn’t get injured by himself,” he raged. “It was a very nasty and avoidable foul.”
To prevent any further ill feeling, Nedved has made a full apology to Figo and hopes that the incident is now closed.
“It was completely accidental and I was trying to get the ball,” the ex-Lazio man insisted.
“I’m really sorry that this happened. It didn’t mean to hurt Luis and I have already cleared things up with him. I hope he returns as soon as possible.”
Inter are facing a midfield shortage with Patrick Vieira, Dejan Stankovic and Luis Jimenez already out of action.
Figo could be out until the New Year if the results of his scan are as expected.
