AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer has thanked fans for their messages after he underwent surgery on a knee cartilage problem.
Through the official website, Milan announced today that Bennacer underwent surgery on his right knee in Lyon this morning. The repair of the cartilage lesion was successfully performed by Dr. Bertrand Sonnery Cottet, but will see him miss six months at least.
On his Instagram, Bennacer provided a post-surgery update: “Hello everyone! My knee surgery went very well. The road to recovery starts today,
“It will be long, difficult, and will keep me away from the field for several months. But I am ready to overcome this ordeal with courage and determination.
“I will work hard, fight every day, to come back stronger and be again able to defend the colours of my club and my country.
“Thank you all for your messages and the strength you are giving me to get through all of this. I will keep you updated on each step of my recovery.”

If only we had Tonali and Kessie as double pivot, and Bennacer as trequartista rather than Brahim Diaz.
Speedy recovery
