Bennacer started in the No.10 role this evening and just like his teammates, he had a rough start to the game. Things got even worse in the 17th minute when, after a challenge, he had to leave the pitch in great agony.
As reported by Sky Italia (via TheMilanZone), it’s possible that the Algerian suffered a meniscus injury. He left San Siro on crutches and it might not be good news for Milan, who had to make do without Rafael Leao as well tonight.
Bennacer will undergo a series of tests in the coming hours and only then will we know the extent of his injury. The return leg seems to be at risk though, and potentially the rest of the season.
