Helveg out of Milan opener

Thomas Helveg will be out of action for at least three weeks after dislocating his collarbone.

Danish international Thomas Helveg will be out of action for at least three weeks after dislocating his collar bone during training.

Major blow
Helveg's injury is a major blow for Milan AC coach Carlo Ancelotti just days before the start of the Serie A season and the UEFA Champions League campaign.

Chamot in
Milan have just sold right-back Cosmin Contra to Club Atlético de Madrid and Ancelotti will have problems replacing the 31-year-old defender. The former Parma AC and Juventus FC coach's first option is likely to be José Antonio Chamot.

Key matches
The five-time European Champion Clubs' Cup winners will make their debut in this season's Champions League next Wednesday against RC Lens. Helveg will miss that match as well as their following game against RC Deportivo La Coruña.
