AC Milan’s fears have been confirmed as Pierre Kalulu has suffered a calf muscle problem while on international duty with France’s U21 team.
As learned by our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Kalulu underwent a scan this morning to understand the extent of the problem that he has picked up, and they showed a lesion to the soleus muscle of his right calf.
New checks will be carried out in a week which means that he will definitely miss the trip to face Napoli in the league at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday night, and the tests in a week will give a more precise idea of his recovery time.
With a muscle problem it is natural to presume the absence will be the best part of a month, which also puts the two Champions League games against Luciano Spalletti’s side at risk too. It could also have implications on Pioli’s decisions regarding a three or four-man defence.
