meniscus

なんともせつないニュースです。mniscusは，「凹[凸]面」「凹凸レンズ」という意味のほか，「新月形のもの」，そして解剖学の「(ひざ関節の)半月板」という意味もあります。最後は凹凸レンズの形からイメージできますね。本人が一番くやしいことでしょう。ともかくも時間をかけて直してほしいものです。（UG）

MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan defender Yuto Nagatomo is out for the rest of the season and midfielder Walter Gargano is also set for an injury layoff.

The pair were injured in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Cagliari in Trieste. Nagatomo tore a meniscus in his left knee and Gargano has a left thigh strain. Inter did not say how long the players are expected to be sidelined but Nagatomo is unlikely to be fit before the end of the season. Gargano could be back for the final few games.
