Sky: Okafor facing weeks out while Pobega risks surgery – the latest

Tommaso Pobega and Noah Okafor both risk an extended period on the sidelines after their injuries were diagnosed today, according to a report.

Manuele Baiocchini (via Radio Rossonera) gave an update on the pair for Sky, describing them as ‘serious, heavy injuries’. Pobega is even at risk of having to undergo an operation because of the fact he has sustained tendon damage.

The recovery times, when it comes to injuries of this type, are estimated at at least one month for both players. We must wait for more information a week or 10 days when the midfielder and forward will be checked again and then they will khow long they will have to sit out.

Milan have no peace when hit comes to muscle injuries which have continued since the beginning of the season and seem to have become more and more damaging. Now Pioli will have to do without two other players who were playing with more and more consistency.

They weren’t two starters but they were alternatives who would have been very useful to have, especially if the team are to compete on three fronts, i.e. the league, Europa League and the Coppa Italia which begins in the new year.
