Amauri suffers fresh injury setback
MILAN - Brief news from Serie A ahead of the weekend matches.

He will miss Sunday's trip to Genoa and reports say he could be out until next year.
With Filippo Inzaghi and Alexandre Pato injured, AC Milan's Ronaldinho would be happy to play alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a striker at home to Fiorentina on Saturday given Robinho's shaky form.

Inter Milan's treatment room is still packed and defender Cristian Chivu is the latest to be ruled out of Sunday's game at Chievo after suffering a groin strain in Romania's 1-1 friendly draw with Italy on Wednesday.
Diego Milito, Maicon and Joel Obi are among other injury absentees with coach Rafael Benitez under pressure for results despite public backing from club president Massimo Moratti following last weekend's derby defeat to leaders Milan.
Second-placed Lazio visit Parma on Sunday but have a doubt over defender Andre Dias after he picked up a knock in training.
