Soccer: Camarda, 16, to start for Milan agst Cagliari

Italian 16-year-old wunderkind
Francesco Camarda will make his Serie A debut start for AC Milan
against Cagliari Saturday after recently playing in their 3-1
Champions League win over Bruges, coach Paulo Fonseca said
Friday in announcing the replacement for Spain veteran Alvaro
Morata who was ruled out by a head injury sustained in training
Thursday.

   
"He's mature and I have no doubts about him, for me players have
qualities not ages", the Portuguese coach told reporters.

   
Milan-born 6ft tall striker Camarda has played six games for
Milan's youth team scoring one goal.

   
He has five Italy under-19 caps and three goals for his country.

   
Camarda came on for Morata in the 75th minute in the
Nerazzurri's victory over Bruges on October 22, and made a good
impression.
