Italian media claim that Nesta will undergo surgery later this week in a bid to finally to resolve his back problems.
The Corriere dello Sport reports that Milan central defender Alessandro Nesta visited Professor Maurizio Fornari yesterday afternoon to seek medical advice regarding his chronic injury problems.
Fornari is the same surgeon that advised Nesta to stay clear of the operating room last July, when his back problems started tormenting him again.
But, according to the newspaper, the ex-Lazio defender has now been told that surgery will be inevitable if he is to stand any chance of resuming his career.
There are still details that need to be sorted out this morning, but the surgery should be performed by Professor Fornari at the La Madonnina clinic over the next few days.

It has been confirmed that Milan defender Alessandro Nesta is to be operated on to try and resolve his recurring back trouble..
Milan only narrowly lost the derby yesterday, but as many have pointed out, it could have been so much worse in terms of the scoreline.
The Rossoneri defence could not deal with the size, weight and speed of a rejuvenated Adriano, and the precision and intelligence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
In short, they desperately needed Alessandro Nesta, whose considerable speed and calm manner could have helped his side no end.
Alas for i Diavoli, the 32-year-old was out with his niggling back problem, and now it has been reported that surgery will take place tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
Datasport says that the doctor Maurizio Fornari and his team will perform the operation; he is the same doctor who counselled against surgery for the former Italian international last year, but now the pain is such that it prevents Nesta f

The Diavoli central defender has suffered another set-back and there are fears that not even surgery will allow him to return to action.
There were reports at the start of the week that Alessandro Nesta was on the road to recovery and it was suggested that he could sensationally pull on a starting shirt in tonight’s Derby della Madonnina against Inter.
However, he suffered a muscular problem on Friday and it is now feared he will have to go under the knife to try and address his disc protrusion issue once and for all.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports this morning that the 32-year-old will undergo further tests next week, but it is highly unlikely he will be able to feature this term and some sources suggest that his footballing career is at risk.
Nesta has been dealing with this problem f

Milan defender Alessandro Nesta's season seems doomed as he suffered another problem to his back just when it seemed he would be ready to take place on the bench again.
According to reports by SkySport24, there is more bad news for Milan fans surrounding Alessandro Nesta. The defender's back has been giving him problems again, so much so that this morning he was reportedly unable to get out of bed.
Although the player and Milan's medical staff want to remain optimistic, considering the progress he was making on his long-lasting back problems, following his rehabilitation period in the United States, this latest setback is a major blow.
The most likely option now for the player is a surgical operation, but in that case his playing career might be in jeopardy. The next few days will be very di

The defender is raring to face Inter in Sunday’s Derby della Madonnina and, if everything goes according to plan, he could even be in the starting XI.
MilanNews.it reports that central defender Alessandro Nesta will join the rest of his team-mates for today’s training session at Milanello in a crucial test ahead of the grudge derby game against Inter on Sunday night.
The former Lazio captain has yet to make an official appearance this season, however, he could sensationally be handed a starting shirt at the weekend.
The 32-year-old has only featured in a friendly game in Albania last October and sat on the bench for the home game with Sampdoria. But his back problems flared up again and he travelled to Miami, where he has a home, for treatment.
He returned to Italy on January 21, insisting that he would be back in action within a month. True to his word, he now seems to have finally shaken off his problems and could have a starring rol

Alessandro Nesta's injury torment could finally be at an end as he readies himself to take part in the Milan derby next weekend.

After a nightmare spell on the sidelines there are finally some signs of light at the end of the tunnel for the former Lazio man. Sportmediaset.it claims there is a very good chance that Nesta will be lining up against city rivals Inter when the two teams meet in what is likely to be a Scudetto showdown.
The defender cannot wait to return and he will be a

Nesta has returned to Milanello. The applause of his team mates, the first tests and the first words: 'I'm happy to be here. I will continue the preparations, let's see how my back responds to the workloads.'
MILANELLO - Yesterday he had announced it: 'I have my bags ready, I'm ready to come home.' And today this became a reality. In the morning the defender landed in Linate and then, at around 13.00, he made his much awaited return at Milanello, where he was welcomed by the embrace of his team mates, who reserved him a big welcome. After two and a half months in Miami, where he worked in the morning and the afternoon, the Rossoneri champion is ready to continue his preparation. He explained it himself, in an interview to Milan Channel. Here is what he said:
The back problem which has tormented him seems to have gone...
Milan defender Alessandro Nesta will be back in Milan on Thursday morning after spending time in Miami to cure his on-going back injury.
The former Lazio captain has been out of action for most of the season, and he travelled to the United States to help his recovery. There were fears that he needed surgery, but that is highly unlikely as Nesta has reassured both club and fans that all is well.
The stopper didn't reveal much and what he said was limited, nevertheless, it's good news for Milan.
"I am packing my suitcases," Nesta told Radio Radio TV.
"I am fine, all is well."
The defender's return will be a massive boost for the Rossoneri as they have been struggling at the back recently. Philippe Sendero
