AC Milan’s pursuit of a new right-back might just have become more urgent after Alessandro Florenzi came off during last night’s win over Manchester City with a knee injury.
Di Marzio writes that there are ‘hours of concern’ at Milan regarding Florenzi’s condition. In the 40th minute of the game against City, Florenzi went down in considerable pain and it quickly became apparent it was a knee injury.
The condition of Florenzi’s right knee will be evaluated in the coming days but if the outcome is not positive, then Milan will find themselves with only Davide Calabria on the right side of the defence, in addition to Pierre Kalulu who can play there and youth options like Andrea Bakoune and Davide Bartesaghi.
The head coach Paulo Fonseca spoke at a press conference after the game and was asked about Florenzi’s injury, confirming that he will have a scan on it.
“I’m not sure about Florenzi’s injury. I spoke to the doctor and to him, but we have to wait to see the MRI,” he told Milan Reports (via MilanNews).
The worry is that it could be ligament damage of some kind, while Florenzi has already had two minor knee surgeries since he joined Milan.
