After going down injured in the 40th minute of AC Milan’s clash against Manchester City, fears were high about Alessandro Florenzi’s condition, and a statement from the club has confirmed he has undergone surgery.
Reports after the fixture stated that the injury was as bad as it looked, and the initial reaction was valid, with the right-back set to have an MRI on the night, and it was later confirmed that the 33-year-old had suffered ligament and meniscus damage, so would return to Italy early for surgery.
Today, in a statement on their website, Milan confirmed that the defender has successfully undergone surgery on his right knee, which aims to reconstruct the ACL and repair the meniscus in his right knee, and he will begin rehab after some recovery time.
It comes at a time when Milan were looking at his role within the squad, and with the Rossoneri intent on signing a new right-back in the mercato, his position in the squad would likely have been limited this season.
However, it now pushes the Diavolo to make a decision about the position, given there is a lack of cover at full-back. Therefore, a deal for Emerson Royal could be accelerated in the days to come.
Who was it? I think it was Torres who refused salary during his injury and basically terminated with us, a bit lack of class when you are in your final year and you’ll be getting multi-million salary to watch Milan game on stadium!
It was Mandzukic and Kaka apparently. I kinda expected the same class from Florenzi, ngl
Redondo did that as well.
Onyewu too
Get well soon, this effectively brings his time in Milan at an end, I honestly would have liked the club to get an Italian to replace him, but it seems Emerson Royal is his replacement, but the club should not make the mistake of registering him while injured on the UCL list, just like in the 2022/2023 season, we’re that moronic move deprived the club of a slot for another player, instead of getting another healthy Italian player to replace him, every slot counts, the club should think of how to replace him, so that we don’t lose the slot.
Jimenez is originally a rb. Terracciano, rb. Kalulu, rb. There is no lack of cover.
But!
If these guys aren’t good enough to be trusted to play rb, sell them and buy someone who can play rb. Someone for real money not a discount deal ala Emerson.
Geertruida is the hottest rb name with a contract until 2025. I’m completely baffled we aren’t making moves to sign him. But have a ha*d on for the Brazilian magician. Moncada ftw (y)
It’s Fonseca request. But you’re right, not sure why Loncada’s wizardry didn’t yield a different option.
Yeah, like last years signings were piolis request.. of all the rb in Europe fonseca wants Emerson specifically. Wow.
Kinda doubt he ever saw the dude play or even knew his name until moncada dropped a file on his desk. Or email nowadays
We have like 5 players who can play RB. What lack? Spend the money on a damn CDM already
