MN: Pellegrino suffers fracture and Kalulu faces surgery – the latest

Some very worrying news has emerged regarding the condition of two AC Milan centre-backs who both came off injured during last night’s draw with Napoli.

During the game against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Milan lost three players due to injury, or presumed injury: Pierre Kalulu in the first half, Christian Pulisic at half-time and Marco Pellegrino in the second half.

Kalulu left the field in the first half after a rough duel an opponent while Pellegrino was replaced with what was described by Stefano Pioli as a bad sprain of his ankle.

According to MilanNews, muscle injuries to the left thigh have been ruled out for Pulisic which is good news and his condition will be monitored daily.

However, Pellegrino suffered compound fracture of the calcanea bone of the left foot which will keep him out for some time, and Kalulu sustained a lesion to the left rectus femoris tendon, requiring surgical opinion.
