MN: Messias forced off with sprained ankle during friendly win against Vicenza

AC Milan suffered a double injury blow during their friendly win against Vicenza this evening as Junior Messias also went off with a problem.

There was a moment of worry early in the second half as Sandro Tonali pulled up and then limped off straight down the tunnel with what was clearly a muscle problem, and there are doubts about whether he will be fit enough to face off against Udinese in one week.

Three minutes before the hour mark, Messias became the latest to make his way off with an ankle injury, and Alexis Saelemaekers came on to replace him. According to what is being reported by MilanNews, the Brazilian is dealing with a sprain trauma to his right ankle.

Again we must await news regarding the severity of the sprain and how long he is facing out, but it would be another blow if he were not available for the Udinese game, especially given his four goals in preseason.
