Ruben Loftus-Cheek has had another stroke of bad luck as he will be forced to miss tonight’s game against Napoli due to an abdominal problem.
According to what we have learned through our correspondent Luca Maninetti, during the squad’s retreat in Naples before tonight’s match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Loftus-Cheek felt strong abdominal pain that required hospitalisation for further clinical tests.
The tests revealed acute appendicitis and he will undergo surgery to remove his appendix today. The full recovery time will soon emerge, but it is obvious that he will not be able to feature in this evening’s game.
The Englishman returned after a very long absence in the last match before the international break against Como and had worked well at Milanello during the break, even being tipped for a starting spot against Napoli.
As mentioned, the return of the ex-Chelsea man was welcomed with great enthusiasm by Conceicao, who labelled him a ‘monster’. He had spent almost two months out following a muscle injury suffered in the Supercoppa Italiana final vs. Inter.
This guy should just go back to England…
He’s done enough in Italy.
Can’t help but feel sorry for Rubes. Has more physical issues than National Geographic, finally looks set to make a comeback and BOOM! Appendicitis.
Just not happening for this guy.
was hoping to get a strong finish from him that would make up partly for the long absence. but after this, we need to sell him in the summer.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biggest flop of the season
Another Bennacer, we should sell him
but worse. At least Bennie was great the scudetto season and a few months before and after. RLC for whaever reason hasnt delivered.
Tough luck. He was much better than Bakayoko in a similar role, but unlucky in fitness.
Finished career..better join Piolick in Arabian dessert
Moncada brought him in to replace Tonali 🤣
