Loftus-Cheek Injured at Milan, Out for At Least Two Weeks
Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be out for at least two weeks with a muscle tear in his left thigh. The player will miss the Bologna match, the Inter derby and the Ferencváros game.
Injury problems continue at Milan. Tests showed that midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has a muscle tear in his left thigh. Damage was found in the player's posterior thigh muscle group, and his condition will be reassessed in two weeks.
Loftus-Cheek came on in the second half of the 2-0 win away at Udinese. However, at the start of stoppage time, he felt a pull at the back of his thigh while sprinting and had to leave the field.
This is a new blow for the team coached by Ruben Amorim. Right now, eight of his starting eleven players are injured or suspended. Adrien Rabiot, Mario Gila and Diego Moreira missed the Udinese match and are working to be fit for the derby. Samuel Chukwueze, Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers are out of the squad for the long term.
Despite all these absences, Milan have not lost a Serie A match this season. Having won two league games in a row, the team has reached 18 points and will go into the Inter derby with that total.
The international break in mid-November will give Loftus-Cheek time to return to the pitch for the matches that follow.
