Krzystofski and Trujillo 'will be fit'

Karlo Krzystofski says he and FC London team-mate Juan Trujillo will be fit for the CSA Champions League Final against London United in Milan.

Both were injured in Saturday's 5-0 thumping victory at Cardiff Dragons, with Krzystofski hurting his knee and Trujillo dislocating his elbow.

But the Wales CSA striker told SCORE! Magazine there was "nothing serious" about his injury.

And of Trujillo, he said: "I've spoken to him. He will play in Milan. No-one wants to miss this gigantic match."

Krzystofski confirmed that the knee he hurt in Cardiff (just seconds after he came on for Craig Wisniewski) was the same one that had been operated on last November, but said: "I put ice on it immediately. I will be at training this week."

He called the Milan showdown so important that it was regarded in the FC London locker-room as "the match of our careers".

FC London go to Milan looking for a hat-trick of Champions League triumphs.

However, United will go to the San Siro looking to become CSA football's premier club, but Krzystofski said: "This Champions League match is different.

"It will play itself out over 90 or 120 minutes.

"We know that we can beat United, we proved it again in the league a fortnight ago."

The game itself will be a lot of heat with some of the players who were apart of the first two Champions League-winning FCL teams now on the other side (such as Kevin Warhurst, Neil Boyle, Simon Herding, Edward Redwood, etc).
