AC Milan sighed last night when Strahinja Pavlovic was forced to be subbed off at half-time, and it seemed serious. However, tests, thankfully, show otherwise.
In recent years, Milan have been seriously unlucky with injuries, and this season has been no different. Perhaps it can be argued that they have actually struggled more than they have done previously.

The attack has been infested with issues, with occasional problems elsewhere have not helped and when Pavlovic was forced off, many feared the worst. However, reports this morning suggested that he will be ok.
Pavlovic is ok
Thankfully, the tests show that there is no fracture in his left leg, instead, he has just taken a heavy blow. So, he should not be absent for a long time. However, his presence this weekend is unlikely at this moment.
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, there was concern at Milanello this morning about his potential to play this weekend. However, there is a slight, even if very slim, chance that he does actually feature against Parma.
Failing that, it looks likely that he will be ok for the game against Cremonese, meaning he will be back match sharp before the game against Inter, which is only a positive.
Whilst he is out, Koni De Winter and Fikayo Tomori will play as the wide defenders in the back three, it seems.
How that high boot didn’t get a card is beyond me
