Mutu suffers fresh blow

Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu has suffered a fresh blow after dislocating his elbow while preparing for international action with Romania.
The 29-year-old forward discovered last week that he has been ordered by FIFA to repay former club Chelsea £13.6million in compensation after testing positive for cocaine while at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea had sacked the striker for breach of contract back in October 2004.
Mutu, who labelled the punishment as 'inhumane', was set to feature in Romania's international friendly against Latvia on Wednesday.
However, he now faces a lengthy period on the sidelines and could miss the start of the Serie A season at the end of August.
