We provided a scouting report on the teenager which showed why it is a signing with high upside, while Sky’s Peppe Di Stefano told us exclusively that he feels it is an operation reminiscent of the ‘old Milan’.

Injury update

Unfortunately Cissè suffered an injury in his first match since his move was made official. It quickly became apparent that it might be a serious issue, and this was then confirmed by subsequent medical tests.

Cissè suffered a ruptured tendon in his right thigh and it required him to undergo surgery in Finland. The operation took place on Monday and was a complete success, as per uscatanzaro.net.

His rehabilitation will be supported and management by both Milan and the Calabrian club, with his recovery time is estimated at around four months. That means 2025-26 is over for Cissè, who will now focus on getting fit for preseason.
