Sporting director expects keeper to be fit for Lazio game
Milan sporting director Umberto Gandini has told
Sky Sports News that he expects Dida to be fit for the game against Lazio.
Much of the aftermath of Celtic's emphatic victory over the Italians has surrounded the incident following Scott McDonald's 90th minute winner.
A fan entered the field and approached the Brazilian keeper before tapping him on the face and running off.
Dida momentarily chased the man, only to collapse holding the side of his face, before being stretchered off the pitch.
Slammed
Talking to
Sky Sports News, Gandini confirmed that Dida had suffered no long-term effects from the ordeal: "I think Dida is fit to play for Sunday.
"It is difficult to understand what happened. But it did not have any influence on the result.
"The incident is unfortunate. We have nothing to say against anyone at Celtic. It was just an insane moment by one single person.
"He was slammed in the neck. I think we should cut this thing (discussion of the incident) out as soon as possible."
Fences
In Italy many of the grounds have segregation fences between the fans and the pitch, but Gandini believes that not having them at all is better for the game
"I think it (the non-fencing in English and Scottish grounds) is the right way. I think it is fantastic. I don't think there should be any," he added.
