There was immediate panic when Florenzi went down in severe pain in the closing stages of the 0-0 draw against Sassuolo, and Milan knew the injury was not a minor one as they decided to sign Sergino Dest on deadline day to provide cover on the right flank.
In a statement on the official website, Milan confirmed that suffered a severe injury to the biceps femoris of his left hamstring, which required surgery in Finland, and added that he faces around five months out.
