After going 2-0 down within 11 minutes against their city rivals Inter in the Champions League, things went from bad to worse for Pioli’s side as Bennacer was then forced to come off with what looked like a knock that he couldn’t shake off, and Junior Messias came on in his place.
The worries were worsened when he was seen leaving the stadium on crutches, with a few sources reporting that he has sustained a problem with meniscus which is potentially season-ending.
As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it report, the tests he underwent this morning showed that Bennacer has suffered a post-traumatic cartilage lesion of the lateral femoral condyle of the right knee.
The player will undergo arthroscopic surgery and will therefore definitely miss the return leg of the derby.
