Filippo Inzaghi: 'Sulley Muntari did not mean to injure Marco van Ginkel'

AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi insists that he does not blame Sulley Muntari for the injury that Marco van Ginkel sustained in training.

AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi has dismissed reports that he was angry with Sulley Muntari for a tackle in training that has left Marco van Ginkel sidelined.

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder is expected to be out for around six weeks with an ankle injury after clashing with Muntari in a training game on Friday.

After the Italian media claimed that Inzaghi blamed the Ghana international, the boss told reporters: "I am angry about the news that has been reported. Muntari went in for a hard challenge, but it was not a violent challenge. If it were, Muntari would already be out of the squad.

"I am sorry for Van Ginkel, but it's not right to say things about Muntari that are not true. He had no intention of hurting him, so for me, the case is closed.

"I have lots of solutions and today I will try and understand who to play to cope with Van Ginkel's absence."

Van Ginkel has made just two appearances in Serie A this season.
