MILAN - Special day for Fernando Redondo who has turned 35 today. ACMilan.com and Milan Channel join the team and the club in their best wishes to the Argentinian midfielder.

Clarence Seedorf was forced off the field with a hamstring injury after 18 minutes of the Netherlands' 1-0 defeat by the Republic of Ireland in Saturday's friendly international. However, a scan immediately after the game revealed that the injury was not as bad as it was first feared. Seedorf is likely to be fully fit for EURO 2004, although a second scan will take place on Monday.

Adriano Galliani continued in Villasimius and said: 'I don't think I'll stand for election again as president of the Football Laegue. It is important that clubs of important cities like Cagliari and Palermo have returned to the top-flight. Such things are essential in football, although the main problem in Italy is that the clubs do not owe their stadiums as it happens in England. Moreover, the Italian clubs have to pay 50 per cent taxes more than the English and the Spanish one.' Then he focused on Paolo Maldini's position in next season's team and said: 'It will be up to [Carlo] Ancelotti to decide it. [Jaap] Stam's arrival has been hailed by everyone.'
A last remark on the future of city basketball club Olimpia Basket. Galliani concluded: 'The column by Franco Arturi in the Gazzetta dello Sport stimulated me quite a lot. I talked with [Giorgio] Corbelli, who will remain the owner of the club, and acted as a mediator between [Italian stylist Giorgio] Armani and him. I have been an Olimpia fan for 40 years, I'll be part of the board with a quota of shares. My aim is to find sponsors
