Asprilla may miss World Cup
MILAN, Italy (AP) -- Faustino Asprilla's chances of playing in the World Cup are not looking good.
The flashy Colombian forward, whose career has been a roller-coster ride of brilliant play and off-the-field woes, may not be healthy in time to get a call-up for the tournament, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported Saturday.
Asprilla's latest ailment, a left knee injury, has kept him out of Serie A club AC Parma's lineup. He did take the field for Colombia's friendly against Yugoslavia on Wednesday, but just for a handful of minutes before limping off.
Asprilla must be fully recovered by May 20 for Colombia coach Hernan Dario Gomez to pick him, the Gazzetta said.
