The injury that has been suffered by Charles De Ketelaere has come at the worst time for both AC Milan and Stefano Pioli, a report suggests.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, the muscle injury that the Belgian playmaker has suffered means that Pioli has got less options to choose from at a time when the games are coming thick and fast fatigue is setting in for many players.
Milan are already struggling with a long list of injuries and now De Ketelaere is part of it given he missed training at Milanello this morning.
The other factor here is that the injury will stunt the former Club Brugge man’s acclimatisation to Serie A and the club. He is yet to hit the heights that many expected from him yet but it is natural to be still be settling in.
Settling in will be made much harder if he has to contend with an injury lay-off.
