Soccer: Milito season over with knee injury (ANSA) - Milan, February 15 - Veteran Inter Milan goal-poacher Diego Milito's season is over after he suffered a potentially career-ending knee injury in Inter's 2-0 win over CFR Cluj in the Europa League Thursday.

Inter coach Andrea Strammacioni said "we are all sad" after the 33-year-old Argentinian striker, Inter's top scorer with nine goals this season, collapsed in agony after twisting his right knee in a tackle against the Romanians.

The injury was the worst kind for a player, involving anterior cruciate ligaments and other parts of the knee.

Inter is fourth in Serie A, 12 points behind leaders Juventus.
