Laugh it Up, Haters

As you may have heard, Christian Chivu picked up a shoulder injury in Romania's game last weekend, and sat out their midweek friendly as a result. Though the injury was originally thought to be fairly minor, La Gazzatta is reporting this morning that Chivu will be out for a full month, a revelation that is horrible news for Inter, who are already without both Marco Materazzi and probably Walter Samuel, and great news for everyone who likes it when bad things happen to Inter.
