As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports (via MilanLive), Matteo Gabbia was forced off after a few minutes of the game. It quickly became clear that it was a serious problem with his knee, and Monday’s examinations showed a blunt trauma to the left knee, with probable involvement of the collateral ligament.
An additional check will be done today to rule out the detachment of a fragment of the meniscus, with his recovery time at least a month as things stand currently.
Meanwhile, Ismael Bennacer has suffered an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh and will be re-evaluated in 10 days. The paper adds that he will be out for three weeks to one month.
Obviously these injuries make the club reflect also from a market perspective. If the purchase of a central defender was already virtually certain, it will be necessary to see if Milan will also intervene in midfield.
