Michael Schumacher was told yesterday that he faces further surgery on his broken leg but there is a chance he could be racing again by the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Septmber 12th.

The twice world champion, injured in a high-speed crash at the British Grand Prix on July 11th, had hoped to test drive a Ferrari at the team's Fiorano track this weekend, but an examination by five doctors in Switzerland dashed his hopes.
