Official: Musacchio out for ‘6-8 weeks’ with knee injury

On their website, AC Milan have announced that Mateo Musacchio will miss up to eight weeks of play, as the Argentinian picked up an injury against Real Betis. 

The defender suffered a tough collision with teammate Franck Kessie, and he was subsequently forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher, at first fearing a head trauma. However, AC Milan ruled out this in their statement, instead declaring that he suffered a knee injury.
