Samuel Chukwueze sustained the injury during a tense match against AS Roma, which ended in a 1-1 draw last weekend.
Chukwueze was stretchered off the field in the 61st minute of the game, raising immediate concerns about his fitness and recovery.
As a consequence of this injury, Chukwueze will miss the upcoming Superscoppa Italiana showdown against Juventus, scheduled to take place on January 3 in Riyadh. This game is particularly significant, and his absence will be felt not only by his teammates but also by fans who were looking forward to seeing him in action.
AC Milan have been struggling with a series of injuries plaguing several key players, which has left the squad in a tough position.
Among those currently sidelined are notable stars such as Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Yunus Musah, Noah Okafor, and Alessandro Florenzi.
To address these issues and revitalize the team, the Rossoneri made a strategic move by appointing Sergio Conceicao as their new head coach earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Olympic Lyon have reportedly turned down offers from both RC Lens and TSG Hoffenheim for their Nigerian forward, Gift Orban. Orban has expressed a strong desire to leave Lyon after finding himself excluded from the squad due to disciplinary reasons, which has fueled speculation about his future.
Both Lens and Hoffenheim have submitted bids for Orban, but neither has met Lyon’s financial expectations thus far.
The French club is demanding a fee of €12 million for the former Staebek player, while Lens have presented an offer of €8 million and Hoffenheim have put forward a bid of €10 million.
Recall that Gift Orban joined Lyon from Belgian Pro League side KAA Gent in January 2023.
